The mother of A. A., L. A., B. A., G. A., and C. A. appeals from the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights.1 She contends that the trial court erred by failing to make specific findings of fact and conclusions of law as to each child, that the evidence was insufficient to authorize the termination of her parental rights, and that the court failed to conduct a termination hearing within one year of the filing of the termination petition. None of the arguments presents any basis for reversal, so we affirm the decision of the juvenile court. 1. The mother claims the evidence presented at the termination hearing was insufficient to authorize a termination of parental rights. We disagree.

In August 2000, the mother asked the Whitfield County Department of Family and Children Services to take custody of her five children because she was homeless and unemployed. Because the Department lacked spaces with bi-lingual foster parents, it elected to provide support services to the family which would allow the children to remain in the mother’s care. During the next few months, the Department and other agencies provided financial assistance to the mother for rent, food and transportation.
