There was a recent case in Tennessee where it was decided the BIOLOGICAL parents could get back their child who had been living with foster parents for the past 5 years or so.

Can't remember the case name, but it was in the news a few weeks ago.

Wow - 5 years! I imagine that would be quite traumatic for the child. But I guess it does happen. I hope this case is not allowed to drag on like that for DL's sake.

Unless the foster parents were seriously abusive, that is a HORRIBLE ruling. Ripping a 5-year-old child from his parents is the worst cruelty.
