Syllabus

This action involves the termination of a father's parental rights to his three children. Following a bench trial, the court found that clear and convincing evidence existed to establish the following statutory grounds of termination: (1) abandonment by failure to provide a suitable home (2) substantial noncompliance with the permanency plans (3) the persistence of conditions which led to removal and (4) failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody of the children. The court also found that termination was in the best interest of the children. We affirm the trial court's ultimate termination decision.
