  • Alternatives to Termination of Parental Rights

    Posted on January 30th, 2010 Melinda Deel No comments

    I was in the process of cleaning up my office and burning up my document scanner when I came across some seminar materials on Alternatives to Termination of Parental Rights, presented by Bill Bartlam of the Oakland County Circuit Court.  These materials cover each of the permanency goals for children in foster care:

    • Reunification with family,
    • Adoption, following termination of parental rights,
    • Permanent Guardianship,
    • Permanent Guardianship with Fit and Willing Relatives, and
    • APPLA and APPLA-E or Another Planned Permanent Living Arrangement

    I am providing these materials for all of you to enjoy.
