Description
This appeal presents three issues concerning the termination of a parent-child relationship. First, we are asked to decide whether the law prohibits termination unless it would serve the best interests of both the parent and the child. Second, we are invited to reexamine the standard for appellate review of a finding that grounds for termination exist. Finally, we must determine whether the evidence in this case was sufficient to support a termination decree. The children in this case are three girls, the oldest born on September 28, 1974. The other girls are twins born on October 24, 1976. They reside with their paternal aunt, Lydia (Chacon) Hofmeister, and her husband, Frederick Hofmeister. In August, 1983, when the children were eight and six years old, respectively, the Hofmeisters filed a petition to terminate the natural parents' rights and to adopt the children. The natural parents, who were divorced, responded separately to the petition. The father, Thane Chacon, signed a written consent to the proposed termination and adoption. However, the natural mother, Wanda (Chacon) Bauer, resisted the petition.
