I know it sounds like a terrible option, but your chances of terminating her rights while she is actively involved in trying to have more parenting time with them, will be next to impossible. When your hands are legally tied, all you can do is wait. We were in the same boat years ago, and then just as she had done in the past, she disappeared all over again after years of damaging my adopted stepson. After she walked away and moved, we filed for a TPR based on abandonment and complete a stepparent adoption.
If she is seeking more time, and you counter with a TPR, she can make a case that you are trying to alienate her from the children. You would be giving her a leg to stand on in court at the current moment.
