OPINION

STOWERS, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

Shirley M. appeals termination of her parental rights to her child, Abigail, on the grounds that the trial court erred in finding that: (1) Shirley failed to remedy the conduct that put Abigail at risk of harm; (2) the Office of Children's Services (OCS) made reasonable efforts to provide services to reunify the family; (8) termination was in Abigail's best interests; and (4) OCS did not abuse its discretion in placing Abigail with her foster parents and not her great-grandmother, Rae. We affirm the decision of the trial court.
