Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Termination of Parental Rights
Court's order, finding Respondent mother an unfit parent and that it was in best interests of minor to terminate her parental parental rights, was not against manifest weight of evidence. No error in admission of service plans or testimony of prospective foster mother about service plans. Minor, age 14, had multiple mental health issues and was on the autism spectrum, and had suffered physical abuse by Respondent's paramour. Minor was offered appropriate placement with prospective foster mother who had fostered 25 other children and had experience with children on the autism spectrum. (BIRKETT and BURKE, concurring.)
