Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Termination of Parental Rights
Court found Respondent mother unfit, based on failure to maintain reasonable degree of interest, drug addiction, and failure to make reasonable efforts, and terminated her parental rights as to her two daughters. Positive drug test results and failure to engage in recovery treatments showed inability and unwillingness to control drug addiction, and supported finding of unfitness to due drug addiction. Finding that termination was in minors' best interests was supported by evidence, given Respondent's failure to progress beyond supervised visitation and bond with and supportive interest of foster parents of two years. (LAVIN and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
