Matter of M.f., Yinc

Summary

The Court affirmed termination of Mother’s parental rights, holding that the Department made the reasonable efforts required to prevent removal and pursue reunification. The Court concluded that Mother’s continued substance-use problems, limited engagement with treatment, and prior history supported the finding that her condition was unlikely to change within a reasonable time. It also held that the District Court adequately considered guardianship and reasonably determined that termination and adoption better served M.F.’s safety and stability.
