  • noting this Court declined to view counsel’s statement made in response to an order to show cause as a concession on the mother’s behalf where counsel was seeking to withdraw under Anders
  • “Jurisdiction is purely a question of law; the appellate standard of review is de novo and the scope of review is plenary.”
  • “Because [c]hildren have been adjudicated dependent and [m]other does not have custody of them, [m]other does not possess an unfettered right to visit with [c]hildren under any conditions,” and mother’s right to home visits in general were not irreparably lost.
