The SWs HAVE To give them these chances to some degree.. .If they don't give them the rope (and let them hang themselves) then the parents COULD come back later (after you've adopted) and fight it and possibly have it overturned.
He's going to hang himself again. I know it's hard - I'm in a similar situation now - but I don't even think about my son going back at this point - I know it's right for him to stay and in my heart I know he's going to. I'm going to live my life.
If they do come and take him then I'll deal with it then - but based on your Bdad's history he won't get the child.
ALSO - if the child has been in care for 15 out of the last 24 months there is a law that most states follow that say the child should be freed for adoption - there are only like 5 or 7 states that change the wording to the child "may" be put up for adoption. Ask your SW about it.
