Following the TPR and when the children were all in grandparents\u2019 home, the plan was for the grandparents to adopt the children. After about a year, the grandparents started reporting that the siblings\u2019 behavior was too much for them to handle. The agency worked to support the grandparents and the children\u2019s placements through frequent visits\/conversations with the grandparents, engaging therapeutic foster care services, coaching and mentoring for the grandparents. According to the worker, the children had been in 10-11 placements and they were trying to salvage the placement so the children could stay together and be adopted by their grandparents and stay connected to their birth family. The agency felt that the placement was never stable enough to finalize adoption and did everything they could to keep all of the children in the grandparents\u2019 home. They agency felt they would get to a point where they were ready to move forward with the adoption and then the grandparents would ask for more time. It appeared that the house was divided and the grandparents did not share the same goal for adoption. From the worker\u2019s perspective, the grandparents were always committed to adopting the subject child and not as consistent with wanting to adopt the siblings. It came to a point during a recent court hearing that the Judge told the grandparents that they needed to make a decision as to whether or not they would adopt the 9-year old. Ultimately, they decided not to pursue adoption of either sibling. The agency is moving forward with adoption of the subject child with the grandparents.","created_by":160,"updated_by":160,"updated_at":"4\/30\/2021 8:12:04 am","created_at":"4\/30\/2021 8:12:04 am","id":2557}
