BAKER, Judge.

Appellant-respondent Dorothy McKnight appeals the trial court's decision terminating McKnight's parental rights as to her then two-year-old minor son, J.M. Specifically, McKnight contends that the trial court erred in denying a joint motion for a continuance of the final hearing that she filed along with appellees, the Marion County Office of Family (OFC) and Child Advocates, Inc. (Child Advocates), the guardian ad litem. Concluding that the trial court's denial of the motion did not amount to an abuse of discretion in these cireumstances, we affirm.
