Termination of parental rights, state by state
I found this for you Kip. It's pretty long-but does explain the legal process for parental rights termination.
Some of the exceptions are pretty hard to swallow. Since around the 1990's it seems that the courts will do just about anything to keep kids with their bio parent(s). Check out California's exceptions to termination. Some of them make no sense for a child's safety.
Most states make the child remain in foster care for at least a year before allowing for adoption. It's very sad, and I don't believe in the best interest of the children.
