Syllabus

Termination of parental rights child cannot be placed with either parent within a reasonable time or should not be placed with parents permanent custody in child's best interest motion to continue. The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion by denying father's request for a continuance of the trial. The trial had already been continued to allow father additional time to bond with the child. The juvenile court's judgment granting the agency permanent custody of the child was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. All of the court's findings under R.C. 2151.414(B)(1) were supported by clear and convincing evidence. Further, the court's best interest findings under R.C. 2151.414(D)(1) were supported by clear and convincing evidence.
