Syllabus

The trial court, did not err in granting the motion of appellee, Franklin County Children Services (\FCCS\), for permanent custody of appellant's minor child. The trial court properly found, both previously and in its decision granting permanent custody, that FCCS made reasonable efforts to eliminate the need for the continued removal of the child from appellant's custody. In particular, contrary to appellant's assertion, the trial court appropriately found that FCCS made reasonable efforts to link appellant with a provider for a court-ordered parenting abilities psychological evaluation. Further, the trial court's determination that an award of permanent custody was in the child's best interest was supported by competent, credible evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed.
