Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Termination of Parental Rights
Trial court's best-interests finding, that it was in minor's best interests to terminate mother's parental rights, is not against manifest weight of evidence, as court could have reasonably concluded that stability and permanency that an adoption would provide were preferable to guardianship. Evidence showed that mother failed to visit minor during substantial period of time when mother was not incarcerated; and that mother was rated unsatisfactory on most tasks in service plan. (HUTCHINSON and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
