A trial period not a hearing in the court. This is what BioMom will get once “Little Man” is handed over to her in January, if Plan #3 pans out. I guess it means that her case is still open. If anything happens like, I don’t know, she gets high on Meth AGAIN, then the county has the right to walk in and have rights terminated immediately. No need to open another case or wait for another hearing. At least that is my understanding. This loose definition leads me to believe that this is how kids end up being in the system for so long as little ones. Not because they are unadoptable, but because they are returned to their bio-parents who are “recovered”, they do their 60-Day Trial and since everything is honky-dory, the case is closed. And what?? 3 days later the bio-parents have a little celebration party with extra special party favors?! BAM! Kids are back in the system. New case opens up and the parents get another 18 months to recover and reunite with their kids. Yeppers! Fun times in the Child Welfare System. I just pray this is not what will happen to “Little Man”.

60-Day Trial
