Presentation

0:05 → 0:53(48s)

Attorney Steve Rosenthal opened for the mother-appellant, conceding that "at the time of trial, she was unfit" and asking for a remand for two reasons: (1) a post-trial change in placement disrupted the adoption plan, and (2) the court should consider whether the mother's visitation and best-interest rights require reevaluation in light of the new placement.
