I have to say that if parents are REALLY REALLY trying then a year. But if they are "doing enough to get by" or doing nothing at all then 6 months. The thing is some of these children taken into custody so long only know fp as mom and dad, is that fair to wait YEARS and allow sometimes strangers to come into these kids life?? My lil girl was 4mo when we picked her up...and she is 19mo now...both parents admit never to have "bonded" with her. Bio-dad has not seen her since the day she was removed and Bio-mom has not seen her since Aug 07...almost a year. Neither has called me, CW, or anyone to check on her since first week of December 07. TPR was granted...appeal process over! So it was literally a year from the day CPS was granted PMC and the day TPR occured.
