Order Only: Bill, Nicholas, A Question
Feb. 8th, 2013 09:57 amI have a question I'm hopeful one of you at the Ministry will be able to answer.
What is the process by which a pureblood father might petition to have his parental rights restored to a halfblood child who was placed in fostering (now several years ago)? I had a conversation last evening with Sally Anne Perks--she is interning with me this term--and learned that Madam Umbridge informed her that her father has filed such a petition. (Goodness, he didn't wait a moment, did he?)
Does he stand a chance of succeeding, do you think?
I sense that Miss Perks would prefer his request were denied, though honestly, I believe she may not yet have settled what entirely she does feel. Understandably so.
I'm hoping, however, that if we knew a bit more about the process and the likelihood of the petition's approval or rejection, that might help her reconcile herself or prepare herself, as the case may be.
