Sometimes I cannot believe that they allow cases involving children that small go on for so long! We were told our case would not go over a year unless there were very very special circumstances then there would be a 6mo time frame (she was 4 months in March 07 when we got her....we should finalize adoption within next few months)! Here is the thing...if bio g-ma is not stable...then there is a good chance she will not pass homestudy. When we were going through that bio gma on dads side said she was going to fight for baby (whom she NEVER tried to see the whole year we had her) she never did anything...so the threats may be empty. Our attorney told us that if another family member was to try and challenge us adopting we could have a physcologist observe us with the child as well as them with the child and see whats in the best interest of the baby...that may be an option for you as well. Have you intervined yet? We were allowed to intervine after she had been in custody a year (TPR occured the week we would have intervined tho)! Good Luck!
