Cole v. Ark. Dep't of Human Servs. & Minor Children

Ashley Cole appeals the Dallas County Circuit Court's order terminating her parental rights to her five children: son J.C. (born 9-18-07), son S.M. (born 10-20-10), daughter L.M. (born 5-21-13), son B.P. (born 4-29-15), and son J.P. (born 5-18-16).1 She contends the circuit court erred in terminating her parental rights because the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) failed to prove termination was in her children's best interest; specifically, she argues there was insufficient evidence of the likelihood of adoption.
