Following our grant of his application for discretionary review, the father of Ca.S. and Ch.S., who were born on December 12, 2007 and November 24, 2008, respectively, timely filed this appeal from an order of the Juvenile Court of Crawford County terminating his parental rights. On appeal, he challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the order of termination and also contends the juvenile court erred by finding that it was not in the best interests of the children to be placed with his relatives, Phillip and Patricia Smith.

“On appeal from a juvenile court’s decision to terminate parental rights, we review the evidence in the light most favorable to the court’s decision and determine whether any rational trier of fact could have found by clear and convincing evidence that the parental rights should be terminated.” Footnote and punctuation omitted. In the Interest of E. S. K., 299 Ga. App. 35, 35-36 681 SE2d 705 2009.
