In Re John A.

Syllabus

Petitioner Angela Y. brought this action to terminate the parental rights of Melissa V. (\Mother\) to her child John A. (\Child\). Petitioner is the sister of Child's father. Petitioner has had custody and taken care of the Child since April 25, 2017, when the Child was a little over one year old. The trial court terminated Mother's rights on the grounds of abandonment by failure to visit and abandonment by failure to support Child. We reverse the trial court's finding that Mother abandoned Child by willfully failing to visit. We affirm the trial court's judgment in all other respects, including the termination of Mother's parental rights.
