In Re T.R.

Syllabus

The Department of Children's Services filed a petition to terminate the parental rights of J.E.R. (mother) and R.A.R. (father) with respect to their three children, T.E.R., M.A.R., and T.Z.R. The trial court determined that clear and convincing evidence supported three grounds for terminating mother and father's parental rights: (1) abandonment for failure to provide a suitable home (2) substantial noncompliance with the permanency plan and (3) persistence of conditions. By the same quantum of proof, the court determined that termination is in the best interest of the children. Mother appeals the trial court's order terminating her rights. We affirm.
