PERMANENT CUSTODY – R.C. 2151.414 – BEST INTEREST – APP.R. 12: The juvenile court did not err in determining that the children cannot and should not be placed with mother within a reasonable time and that a grant of permanent custody to the children services agency was in the children's best interest where the record established that mother lacked stable housing, mother was unable to independently care for the children and their severe medical needs, mother failed to consistently attend the children's medical appointments, the children had been placed together in the same foster home since each of their births, and the children were in need of a legally secure permanent placement that could only be obtained with a grant of permanent custody.
