Change of plans

We are currently in the T.P.R. phase with our placement.  Our next hearing is not for a couple of months.  "Princess" is a child we have had placement of since getting our Level 1 license just under one year ago.  This week we will have our monthly in-home visit from her OCM, Ongoing Case Manager.  Due to the age of our placement, the OCM visits her twice a month, once in the foster home and the other in her daycare/school environment.  We hope to get an update on our situation as there has been a possible change of plans. There are two ways a parent loses their rights to their biological child.  One way is involuntarily, meaning all sources to bring reunification to the child and parent have been exhausted and the home is not a safe place for the child to return to, so the court system deems the parent unfit and will terminate the rights for them.  The other way is voluntarily, where the biological parents choose to sever their rights to the child and that will allow for the child to be raised by someone else, whether a relative or an adoptive resource.  Whatever the outcome, we are blessed to have Princess in our lives and know that God always has her in His hands, just like you and me!
