We've passed the one year mark

On November 30th it was the one year mark of the boys being in our household. We also had court that morning. It was a very frustrating day. We got to court, and once we were in the courtroom, they did not speak about my boys at all. Since their older half-brother is also in foster care, they spoke about him. Then court recessed until January. I am frustrated with "the system". The boys are on their 4th case manager, and this past week she told me that by the time all is said and done, they will probably be in our household for another year. Really!? What happened to all those laws about kids having their permanency plan before the one year mark!?
I do not see how this is helping the children in any way. How in the world is it helpful for small children to create strong bonds and attachments if there is a likelihood of them going back to their biological family?!
