In re Emily S.

Syllabus

The respondent father appealed to this court from the judgment of the trial court terminating his parental rights with respect to his minor child, E. The father claimed that the trial court improperly found that the Department of Children and Families made reasonable efforts to reunify him with E and that he was unable or unwilling to benefit from reunifica- tion services. Held that upon this court's review of the record, and the briefs and arguments of the parties, the judgment of the trial court was affirmed, and this court adopted the trial court's thorough and well reasoned memorandum of decision as a proper statement of the facts and the applicable law on the issues. Argued January 3—officially released February 9, 2022
