IV.
On October 21, 1997, DHS submitted a permanent plan proposal having adoption of Child as its ultimate objective.
On October 29, 1997, the permanent plan hearing was convened. Parents' counsel objected to the entry of a permanent plan, and requested a continuance of the hearing. Guardian, on the other hand, urged that the ...
... divested of their parental and custodial duties and rights as they relate to [Child].
Although [Parents] believe that [Child] should continue to reside in the home of [Foster Mother], this order does not guarantee that [Foster Mother] will be [Child]'s adopting parent. An adoption would occur only upon approval by the [court] after the appropriate documents and home study are filed with the [court].
