A.B. v. Department of Children & Families
A.B. v. Department of Children & Families
Opinion of the Court
We find no merit in A.B.’s challenge to the amended final judgment terminating her parental rights to the children S.E.D., A.B., T.B. and M.M. The judgment also terminated the parental rights of A.B.’s husband, B.B., and permanently committed all four children to the Department of Children and Family Services for subsequent adoption. However, B.B. is not the father of two of the children. No service was made on S.E.D.’s father, M.D., and the circuit court reserved jurisdiction as to M.D.’s parental rights. No allegations were made against M.M.’s father, S.D., and the Department of Children and Fami
Accordingly, we strike the provision in the judgment permanently committing S.E.D. and M.M. to the Department for adoption. Otherwise, the judgment is affirmed.
