Court terminated Respondent father's parental rights to his daughter. Court's factual findings, that Respondent was an unfit person and that terminating his parental rights were in the best interest of the minor, were not against manifest weight of evidence. Minor was born when Respondent was in jail, awaiting trial, and never has had any contact with her. Foster mother has established relationship with minor, and is knowledgeable about complicated medical problems of minor, who was born with cannabis and alcohol in her system. (TURNER and STEIGMANN, concurring.)
