Syllabus

This is a termination of parental rights case. Mother/Appellant appeals the trial court's termination of her parental rights to the minor child on the grounds of: (1) abandonment by willful failure to visit and abandonment by failure to provide a suitable home, Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(1), §§ 36-1-102(1)(A)(i) (ii) (2) persistence of the conditions that led to the child's removal, Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(3) (3) failure to substantially comply with the reasonable requirements of the permanency plan, Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(2) and (4) failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody or financial responsibility for the child, Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1- 113(g)(14). Mother also appeals the trial court's determination that termination of her parental rights is in the child's best interest. Because the record does not contain an adjudicatory order of dependency and neglect, we reverse the trial court's termination of Mother's parental rights on the ground of persistence of conditions. We affirm the trial court's termination of Mother's parental rights on all other grounds and on its finding that termination of Mother's rights is in the child's best interest.
