The mother of four children appealed an order terminating her parental rights after the Department of Family and Children Services alleged neglect, domestic violence, and failure to comply with a reunification plan. The Georgia Court of Appeals held that termination required clear and convincing evidence that continued efforts to reunify would cause the children serious physical, mental, emotional, or moral harm. The juvenile court found that the children had been exposed to domestic violence and that one child was bonded with foster parents willing to adopt, but it did not make specific findings showing how continued foster care or reunification efforts would harm the children. The appellate court emphasized that the court could not terminate a natural parent’s rights simply because it believed the children would be better off with a foster family. Because the findings and record did not satisfy the demanding standard for permanently severing the parent-child relationship, the court reversed the termination judgment.
