(2) Whether the trial court erred in terminating the parental rights of the [Petitioner] when the proposed adoption by maternal grandfather would not create a new, genuine, parent-child relationship and foster the creation of a new family unit.
(3) Whether the trial court erred in determining that the anticipated adoption of the children by maternal grandfather would be in the children’s best interests.
