That's almost impossible, though. I know of cases where the mother was physically abusive AND was in recovery for a drug problem and they still didn't take her kids.
The courts are just really reticent to split up families, especially when it means taking on a new ward of the state.
What would be more likely to happen is the appeals process & everything would drag on forever, and the kids would be in foster care all that time, and by the time Mom finally gave up or there was a solid decision made the kids would be too old to be easily adopted.
