ORDER
A.W. (“Mother”) appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Macon County, Missouri (“trial court”), granting J.D.E.’s (“Stepmother”) petition to adopt B.E. (“Child”) and terminating Mothers parental rights to Child. On appeal, Mother raises three points claiming that the trial courts judgment erred in that: 1) “clear, cogent, and convincing evidence” failed to establish that Mothers parental rights should be terminated; 2) the evidence failed to establish that Mother willfully abandoned or neglected Child such that her parental rights should be terminated; and 3) it concluded Mothers consent for Childs adoption was not needed under section 453.040 1
, and the judgment also erred in finding that the effective termination of Mothers parental rights and adoption by Stepmother was in Childs best interests.
