It's a long story, as usual, but for now: the concurrent plan for adoption and termination of parental rights (TPR) was put into place today. The judge wants a status update in December, and set the dates for the TPR hearing for March 3, 4, and 6. He said the county can request TPR at any time. The case gets more complicated with each hearing, and we grow more frustrated that no one's been charged with Failure to Protect (at the very least), but I feel hopeful that Mara could one day become part of our forever family.
In the words of Tom Petty, the wai-ai-ting is the hardest part.
I will never ever ever do this again.
Mark my words.
