with my son, i got a lawyer involved after he had been in care over a year and bmom had already signed her rights away. at that point (since dfs had neglected to worry about the bdad) my lawyer actually filed the tpr paper work on bdad and the adoption papers. now with my new foster daughter, my lawyer is saying that since dfs is persuing both parents at the same time, there is no reason to get him involved until after tpr, for the actual adoption. i don't think i am much help but that is how my two situations have played out. i do have to say that with my daughter, dfs filed the tpr paper work at the 6 month mark, so they are moving very quickly which is why my lawyer saw no need for his services at this time.
