The mother of J. A. B., K. J. D., and A. D. D. appeals from the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights.1 We granted the mother’s application for discretionary review, and now conclude that the juvenile court’s order is insufficient to enable appellate review. Therefore, we vacate the termination order and remand this case.

As a threshold matter, we note that the new Juvenile Code applies to these proceedings even though the State filed the initial deprivation petition in 2013, because the State’s termination petition was filed in September 2014, after the new code went into effect. In the Interest of C.J. V., 333 Ga. App. 844, 847-48 2 777 SE2d 692 2015 applying the new code to a case in which the deprivation petition was filed in 2013 but the termination petition was filed in 2014. Therefore, we proceed under the current Georgia law.
