Mother challenges the juvenile court judgment terminating her parental rights to her two children, S and L. Parental rights may be terminated “if the court finds that the parent or parents are unfit by reason of conduct or condition seriously detrimental to the child or ward and integration of the child or ward into the home of the parent or parents is improbable within a reasonable time due to conduct or conditions not likely to change,” ORS 419B.504, and “if the court finds [that termination] is in the best interest of the ward,” ORS 419B.500. Ultimately, the “assessment of a childs best interest must be child-centered,” taking into consideration the unique circumstances of each case. Dept. of Human Services v. T. M. D., 365 Or. 143, 166, 442 P.3d 1100 (2019); see also Dept. of Human Services v. J. S. E. S., 315 Or. App. 242, 244, 501 P.3d 556 (2021), rev. den., 369 Or. 209, 502 P.3d 217 (2022) (courts best interest “determination is focused on the needs of the child”).
Exercising de novo review, and having considered the entirety of the evidentiary record, we conclude, as did the trial court, that there is clear and convincing evidence that mother is currently unfit and that termination of mothers parental rights to S and L is in the childrens best interests.
Affirmed.
