1Opinion of the Court

LAURA DENVER STITH, Presiding Judge.

AR. appeals the termination of his parental rights to his daughter, J.A.R. He alleges that the trial court improperly admitted a Division of Family Services (DFS) report for the purpose of determining whether one of the statutory grounds for termination existed, rather than solely for the proper purpose of whether termination was in the child’s best interest. Father also claims that there was insufficient evidence to support termination of his parental rights. Finding no merit to his contentions, we affirm.
