In the Interest of M. M. R.

These related appeals from the juvenile court’s termination orders involve an extended family in which the biological grandmother, who is also the adoptive mother of D. J. T., was caring for D. J. T., , M. M. R., and three other grandchildren when they were removed from her care by the Department of Family and Children Services the Department.1 M. M. R.’s mother the mother, who is neither the biological nor legal mother of the other four children and who is the grandmother’s biological daughter was incarcerated at the time six-year-old M. M. R., eight-year-old D. J. T., and the three other children were taken into care. Because many of the pertinent facts overlap, we have consolidated the cases for purposes of the appeals.2

In Case Number A15A2018,3 the grandmother appeals the trial court’s order terminating her parental rights to D. J. T., arguing that the trial court erred by granting the petition to terminate because it lacked clear and convincing evidence to support a finding 1 of present deprivation; 2 that the cause of the deprivation is likely to continue; 3 that a present deprivation would cause serious mental, physical, emotional, or moral harm to the child; 4 that termination was in the best interests of the child; and 5 that she failed to support the child pursuant to former OCGA § 15-11-94 b 2.
