The representative expressed concerns regarding the psychological evaluation process but suggested that proactive measures could be taken to address underlying issues without waiting for formal assessments.

Overall, the representative conveyed a hopeful outlook for the family's future, emphasizing themes of forgiveness and rebuilding connections while maintaining necessary boundaries. The court report prepared for the hearing included relevant attachments to support the ongoing case service plan aimed at fostering family recovery.
