McFadden, Presiding Judge.The mother of K. G. appeals the juvenile court order granting a petition for permanent guardianship of the child. The mother argues that the juvenile court erroneously failed to consider certain required factors when determining whether reasonable efforts to reunify her with the child would be detrimental to the child. But the court is no longer required to consider those factors. And construed in favor of the juvenile court’s ruling, the record demonstrates that the juvenile court could have found by clear and convincing evidence that reunification services would be detrimental to the child. The mother has abandoned her argument that the juvenile court erred in finding the guardianship to be in the child’s best interests. So we affirm. 1. Background.K. G. was born with Down syndrome and a heart condition, and has special needs. The guardian, who is the mother’s half sister, took the child when the mother went to the hospital for treatment of her asthma and had no one else to look after the child. The guardian did not return the child when the mother was released from the hospital, instead seeking custody based upon the child’s dependency. The juvenile court entered an order finding the child to be dependent, and about two years later, granted the guardian’s petition for permanent guardianship, awarding the mother visitation. The mother filed this appeal.2. Efforts to reunify.(i) Failure to consider certain factors.The mother argues that the juvenile court failed to consider certain required factors before awarding permanent guardianship of the child. However, the new Juvenile Code, which governs this case, see In the Interest of M. F., 298 Ga. 138, 140 (1), n. 4 (780 SE2d 291) (2015), does not require consideration of those factors. So we disagree. Citing In the Interest of L. B., 319 Ga. App. 173 (735 SE2d 162) (2012), the mother argues that, before determining whether reasonable efforts to reunify the mother and child would be detrimental to the child under OCGA § 15-11-240 (a) (1), the juvenile court was required to consider four factors:(1) [whether the mother] unjustifiably failed to complete a previously ordered reunification plan, (2) [whether] the child had been removed from the home on at least two previous occasions, (3) [whether] any of the grounds for terminating parental rights set forth in [former] OCGA § 151194 (b) exist, or (4) [whether] reasonable efforts to reunify are deemed unnecessary under [former] OCGA § 151158 (a) (4).
