Additionally, if concerns had been raised to the DHS or the MCl about the progress being
made towards adoption of the Keast children, additional documentation would have been
provided to the court. This additional documentation was provided to the circuit court in DHS' motion for reconsideration. The additional documentation provided further evidence of the interagency efforts and progress being made towards permanently placing the Keast children prior to the February 7,2007 post termination hearing.
