As an AP, I know I shouldn't be in a position to comment....but I do agree that all mothers should have all options open to them. For some mothers, parenting (even for a short while) is not an option. I know it wasn't in my DD's birth mom's options. Though she did love and care for my DD in the hospital, she also knew she could have brought her home, put her in cradle care, or ask that she go home with us until TPR (she chose the latter, and of course I am glad, though I am also glad she knew all her options).
I personally think all parents should be counselled on their ability to wait on TPR. Mandatory minimums are just that...minimums. Not the time they need to decide...
