Case No. 5D16-3647

Decided: February 07, 2017

ORFINGER and EDWARDS, JJ., and JACOBUS, B.W., Senior Judge, concur.

Ryan Thomas Truskoski, Special Assistant Regional Counsel, Jeffrey Deen, Appellate Counsel, and Lori D. Loftis, Assistant Regional Counsel, of The Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel, Casselberry, for Appellant. Deborah Anne Schroth, for Appellee, Department of Children and Families. Sara E. Goldfarb, Sanford, for Guardian ad Litem Program.

AFFIRMED. See J.B.P. v. Dep't of Children & Families, 868 So. 2d 1289, 1290 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004) (“Because the complete record is sufficient and enables us to review the final order of termination, even with only a single omnibus finding, we have elected not to reverse in this case. We caution the Judges in this District presiding over termination of parental rights cases, however, not to infer that the failure to make specific factual findings will always be harmless. In most cases-although not in this one-such findings are indispensable.”).

PER CURIAM.
