RELEVANT FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

E.O., mother of R.M.O. and W.M.O., has received services from the Department of Social Services Office of Community Services (“DSS/OCS”) since 1993. W.M.O., twelve years old, and R.M.O., ten years old, entered foster care on August 19, 1999, and have remained in foster care ever since. Their thirteen-year-old brother, S.M.O., entered foster care with them, but is not part of this proceeding. On October 7, 1999, they were adjudicated to be “children in need of care” and the court approved a case plan for the safe return of the children to their family.
