To make a long story short, it took from April 2020 (the height of shutdowns) until late Fall to have a date for our TPR (termination of parental rights) hearing.  THEN, our first date got cancelled due to COVID exposure, our 2nd date got postponed (all were present) due to an attorney issue, and FINALLY January came around.   We all knew the case was strong, but we really didn’t know what to expect.  Lesson #1 of foster care is that ANYTHING can happen anytime.  This process is especially grueling for those of us who enjoy predictability and logical conclusions...
