Spoke with the kids' case manager recently. The earliest that Case Manager will be able to request a termination of parental rights with respect to Henry is sometime in February. So, two months from now. There will need to be two more court hearings after that and then the judge will need time to make a decision-- we're at least half a year away from any kind of permanent plan for Henry's future. At least. Probably more like 8 or 9 months. And then the whole rigamarole with regard to adoption will begin. Hopefully Henry will be in his forever home by this time next year.
Husband and I have a lot of talking to do in order to decide if Henry's forever home might be with us. A lot of talking. A big decision. At least we know we've got some time to figure it out.
