Syllabus

Judgment of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas is affirmed. Trial court's granting of Franklin County Children Services (\FCCS\)'s motion for permanent custody was not against the manifest weight of the evidence and its determination of L.W.'s best interest did not lack sufficient evidence. The lack of an Indian Child Welfare Act (\ICWA\) inquiry did not cause a manifest miscarriage of justice or had a material adverse effect on the proceedings as there is no indication from appellant that she or L.W. has Native American heritage.
