Syllabus

Permanent custody; best interest of the child; agency's efforts. Our review indicates the trial court's findings under R.C. 2151.414(E) are supported by clear and convincing evidence in the record and, therefore, the trial court appropriately found that L.A. could not \be placed with either parent within a reasonable time or should not be placed with either parent.\ R.C. 2151.414(E). The trial court also properly considered the statutory factors in determining that an award of permanent custody is in the child's best interest. Accordingly, the trial court's decision granting permanent custody to Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services (\CCDCFS\) is affirmed.
