In Re: Glenn B.
Syllabus
Mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to three of her children. The trial court found six grounds for termination: abandonment by failure to visit, abandonment by failure to support, abandonment by failure to provide a suitable home, substantial noncompliance with a permanency plan, persistent conditions, and failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody. The trial court also found termination of Mother's parental rights to be in the best interests of the children. Mother raises procedural and substantive challenges to the trial court's decision. We affirm the judgment of the trial court terminating Mother's parental rights.
