We want to give something away to foster and adoptive parents seeking permanency … one of my most valuable resources

April 24, 2026 //  by Sam McLure

We want to give something away to foster and adoptive parents seeking permanency … one of my most valuable resources

In case you haven’t heard, foster parents can advocate for permanency by filing for termination of parental rights. And, in many cases they should. Especially when the child has been in care for 12 months and DHR has not filed for termination.

We have represented foster parents for years as they strive to help their children achieve permanency. We have developed a termination petition that we want to give away to you. If you read this carefully you will feel the cascade of law that compels the Department and the Juvenile Court to establish permanency for foster children in a timely manner.

Years of Real World Experience Advocating for Permanency

While this has taken our firm years of real world cases with real children’s lives on the line, we want to give it away to you today. We hope this resource will inspire

  • foster parents to advocate more confidently for the children in their care.
  • Guardians ad litem to advocate more confidently by filing their own petitions to terminate parental rights when children have been in care longer than 12 months.
  • DHR case workers and attorneys to file for termination of parental rights when children are languishing more than 12 months in foster care, and
  • private practice attorneys to take up the cause of languishing foster children and represent foster parents as part of their routine practice.

Click here to get your copy of our curated petition to terminate parental rights, today.
