Juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in terminating Mother's parental rights and granting permanent custody of child to the agency and granting legal custody of siblings to other relatives. Juvenile court's decision that permanent custody was in the best interest of the child was supported by clear and convincing evidence. Juvenile court's decision that it was in siblings' best interest to be placed in the legal custody of other relatives was supported by a preponderance of the evidence. Mother's substantial compliance with case plan services did not preclude a grant of permanent custody to the agency or legal custody to other relatives. Juvenile court did not commit reversible error in allowing agency to conduct limited re-redirect examination of witness regarding matters mother contended were outside the scope of recross-examination.
