Descripción editorial
M.M. appeals the termination of her parental rights as to her three children, M.O., M.O. and E.O. We find that there was substantial competent evidence to support the decision of the trial court and therefore affirm. The Department of Children and Families (DCF) took M.O., M.O. and E.O. into custody on December 18, 1997, upon allegations that M.M. had a substance abuse problem and had abandoned them. The mother was offered a pre-adjudicatory case plan and the children were reunited with their mother on July 2, 1999. However, the appellant did not care for her children and they were back in the custody of DCF within a month. Appellant asked that the children remain in foster care until she completed a substance abuse program, included as a part of the plan.
