The county attorney would not have filed for TPR if she didn't have enough evidence for the case to go forward. And the judge or magistrate wouldn't have let it go forward if there wasn't enough evidence to terminate. In 30 years in Colorado, there hasn't been a TPR overturned on appeal. So if you've got a date, I think all you have to do is hold on for the ride.

Things in this county have changed A LOT. Melonakis is no longer hearing these cases it is Delgado and she has denied TPR on two cases from this county this year. One of the kids had been with the f/a family for two years and ended up going back to biomom. Delgado believes in preserving the birthfamily at all costs. We are staying clear of this county b/c there are so many ?'s lately with placements.
