Attorneys 2: Susan H. Harmon, Sevierville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Zachary B.

Attorneys 3: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter, and Mara L. Cunningham, Assistant Attorney General, for the appellee, Tennessee Department of Children's Services.

Judge(s): FRIERSON

In this case involving termination of the parents' parental rights to their three minor children, the trial court found that two statutory grounds for termination had been proven by clear and convincing evidence: (1) abandonment by failure to financially support the children and (2) failure ot manifest an ability and willingness to assume legal and physical custody of or financial responsibility for the children. The trial court further found that termination of both parents' parental rights was ni the children's best interest. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm.
