Epperly v. D.D.

Missouri Court of Appeals

Decided March 25, 1992No. 17664Published

1Opinion of the Court

SHRUM, Presiding Judge.

The juvenile court ordered termination of the mother’s parental rights to her sons, M.J.A., bom January 24, 1983, and C.L.A., bom February 14, 1985. On appeal, the mother challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the court’s findings that she abandoned and neglected her sons, that she had demonstrated disinterest in and lack of commitment to them, and that the provision of services would not bring about lasting parental adjustment. We conclude the evidence supports the juvenile court’s findings and we affirm the judgment.1
