In re Children of Quincy A.

Summary

The court affirmed termination of both parents’ parental rights. It held that competent evidence supported the father’s unfitness findings despite the Department’s late and unsigned reunification plan because the father knew what he needed to do and the findings rested on grounds beyond failure to engage in reunification services. The court also held that termination was in the children’s best interests, concluding that the trial court implicitly considered permanency guardianship and adoption and did not abuse its discretion in choosing termination and adoption.
