Respondent appealed from a trial court order granting a motion to vacate its guardianship of the respondent's minor children, to terminate the wardship, appoint the foster parent as guardian, and to close the case. Respondent argued on appeal that the manifest weight of the evidence did not support the court’s ruling. The appellate court affirmed, finding that while respondent had made progress regarding her mental health treatment, the children’s best interests supported closing the case and appointing the foster parent as guardian.
