" As explained earlier, because P.C. was not adjudicated neglected until April 27, 2001, the nine-month period chosen by the State to demonstrate Tontorya's unfitness, i.e., November 1, 2000, to July 31, 2001, was not, with respect to P.C., a "9-month period after the end of the initial 9-month period following the adjudication." Nor did the trial court consider evidence corresponding to "any 9-month period after the end of the initial 9-month period following the adjudication" with respect to P.C. Thus, the trial court could not have found, by clear and convincing evidence, that the allegation of unfitness was proven with respect to P.C. See In re R.E., 315 Ill. App. 3d 944 (2000). We can find no authority for ignoring the plain language of the statute here.
