The father, O.G., offered some evidence that he made sufficient efforts to see his children so that his abandonment of them was not established by clear and convincing evidence. Accordingly, although we affirm the termination of the father s parental rights, we remand for the trial court to strike that portion of the order basing the termination on abandonment. GROSS, TAYLOR and GERBER, JJ., concur. * * * Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. -2-
