mpatrick- I do not understand why CPS did not try to make contact with any family members prior to placing the child. They are supposed to make a good faith effort to finding a relatives placement before placing in a legal risk home. If they do not, then their case can be appealed if tpr'd. Have you spoken with the court appointed attorney? They are usually hard to get a hold of as they are usually loaded with cases, but the ones that I have dealt with fight hard for the bio. I am a foster/adopt mom. I can only wonder what CPS told the foster family about their chances to adopt the baby. I usually have a ton of questions prior to receiving placement, the first one being relative placements. The foster parents having had the baby for 9 months are already considered a source for adoption. There is nothing that you can do to stop that. You sil needs to start working her case plan. Time is working against her. Has the bio Dad been given a case plan as well? Has any of his family been contacted regarding placement?
