I had something similar happen with me too. My FS's birthmom and BF gave up rights to him in March. We were going to TPR but they relinquished instead. I was surprised because I really thought they would fight it but no complaints here. Then in May she had another baby. Thats when I realized she relinquished vs involuntary because its better for her with new baby. With this new one she gets a chance again to start over from the beginning. Rehab again, services again etc. With involuntary TPR, the state may step in more quickly to remove parental rights of new babies. This way she gets to try again. She insists of course that she didn't know she was 6 mos preg at the time she relinquished. Yeah right.
