In Re Cartier H.

Syllabus

Mother appeals the termination of her parental rights on four grounds. The Tennessee Department of Children's Services does not defend two of the four grounds, so we reverse as to those grounds. We affirm the ground that Mother is unable to parent the children due to her present mental condition. Because the trial court's order does not contain sufficient findings of fact, we vacate the trial court's findings that the mother failed to manifest a willingness and ability to parent and that termination is in the children's best interests.
