IN RE: M. C. N., a Child. Department of Human Services, Petitioner-Respondent, v. A. L. N., Appellant.
IN RE: J. G. S.-N., a Child. Department of Human Services, Petitioner-Respondent, v. A. L. N., Appellant.
Mother appeals judgments terminating her parental rights to her two children, J and M, for reasons of unfitness, ORS 419B.504. Mother raises one assignment of error in which she contends that the juvenile court erred in terminating her parental rights. A detailed discussion of the evidence in the record in this case would not benefit the bench, bar, or public. Suffice it to say that, on de novo review, ORS 19.415(3)(a), we conclude that the record contains clear and convincing evidence that (1) mother has engaged in conduct or is characterized by conditions, most notably long-term substance abuse (methamphetamine and cannabis) and significant mental health disorders, that are seriously detrimental to the children; (2) integration of the children into mother's care is improbable within a reasonable time because mother's conduct and conditions are unlikely to change; and (3) termination is in the best interests of the children. ORS 419B.500; ORS 419B.504; State ex rel. SOSCF v. Stillman, 333 Or. 135, 145-46, 36 P.3d 490 (2001). The juvenile court did not err in terminating mother's parental rights for reasons of unfitness under ORS 419B.504.
Affirmed.
PER CURIAM
