Summarize this article in one sentence.
A CHIPS petition stands for “Child in Need of Protection or Services.” It is filed by the state, typically because the state believes that the child's safety is endangered. The state will work with you to develop a plan so that you can keep your children. The plan will attempt to address whatever shortfall in your parenting that the state observed. If you do not want to retain your parental rights, you should inform the state of that fact at this time. The state can move to have your rights terminated. If the state decides to go ahead with the termination, it will file to have your rights terminated.  You will attend the hearing and consent to having your parental rights terminated. The court may need to reassure itself that you have sufficient capacity to give consent. It may question you and also could order that you meet with someone for counseling.

Summary:
Receive a CHIPS petition. Work on a case plan. Attend a court hearing.
