K. S. K.’s mother, S. K., appeals termination of her parental rights. She challenges the termination order on grounds of evidentiary insufficiency, and she contends that the trial court erred in denying her subsequent motion to modify the termination order based on a change in circumstances. Finding the evidence sufficient and finding no error in denial of the motion to modify, we affirm.

S. K. is the mother of three sons: K. S. K. born in 1999, B. M. born in 1996, and C. E. born in 1991. She came to the attention of the Haralson County Department of Family and Children Services DFACS in January 1999, because she was suspected of neglecting or abusing B. M. and lacked stable housing. After B. M. was removed from her custody, she attempted suicide by shooting herself. At the time, she was seven months pregnant with K. S. K. and badly addicted to crack cocaine. After the suicide attempt, she was jailed for felony forgery. She gave birth to K. S. K. on March 21, 1999, while she was still jailed. He was taken away from her immediately and later placed in “foster to adopt” care. S. K. was paroled from jail in November 1999 but re-incarcerated in February 2000 because she failed a drug screen. She remained in the Haralson County Jail until July 2000, when she was sent to Metro State Prison. The termination hearing was held in February 2001.
