Mother appealed. Counsel for Mother then filed a no-merit brief on Mother's behalf. The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's order terminating Mother's parental rights, holding that the trial court's order was supported by clear, cogent and convincing evidence and was based on proper legal grounds.
