My FS has been with us for about a year. The TPR hearing is set for next week. I received a call saying it will probably be delayed (continued) because they are unable to serve the father. He has been MIA for most of my FS life (16 months). They are required to run an ad in the paper for 60 days! So, I am assuming the hearing will be continued for 2 more months! My FS parents only had 6 months of services. The rest of this time has been one delay after another. My questions: Did someone "mess up?" Where they suppose to run the notice in the paper the last 2 months before the hearing? Anyone else had this happen? Can the judge waive it since the BD hasn't been around for months and months? Thanks!
