Opinion

Mother appeals a judgment terminating her parental rights to three of her children, W, N, and A. On de novo review under a clear-and-convincing-evidence standard, see Dept. of Human Services v. T. L. M. H., 294 Or.App. 749, 750, 432 P.3d 1186 (2018), rev. den., 365 Or. 556, 451 P.3d 1002 (2019), we affirm.

The juvenile court terminated mothers parental rights under ORS 419B.504, determining, as required by the clear-and-convincing-evidence standard, that it was highly probable that she was presently “unfit by reason of conduct or condition seriously detrimental” to her children and that integration of her children into mothers home “is improbable within a reasonable time due to conduct or conditions not likely to change.” The court determined further, as required under ORS 419B.500, that termination of mothers parental rights was in the childrens best interest. On appeal, mother contests the determinations that (1) she is “unfit” for purposes of ORS 419B.504; (2) integration of her children into her home is not probable within a reasonable period of time; and (3) termination is in Ws best interest. Mother does not contest the best interest determination with respect to N and A.

A detailed discussion of the underlying facts of this matter would not be beneficial. Having considered the record in light of the parties’ arguments to us, we are in agreement with the juvenile court that the statutory standards for termination are met and, further, that termination is in Ws best interest.

Affirmed.
