Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Termination of Parental Rights
Mother, whose parental rights were terminated, failed to file a timely notice of appeal or any motion requesting leave to file a late notice of appeal, and thus failed to invoke jurisdiction of appellate court. Although order terminating parental rights is automatically stayed for 60 days before the minor can be adopted, no rule provides for appeal period to be extended past 30 days. (MOORE and OVERSTREET, concurring.)
