Reasons

• DUFFY, Judge (YOHALEM, J., and WRAY, J., concurring): The Court considered the memorandum in opposition filed by the Mother but remained unpersuaded that the notice of proposed disposition was erroneous. The Court highlighted that the burden is on the party opposing the proposed disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law, and merely repeating earlier arguments does not fulfill this requirement. Consequently, the Court affirmed the termination of Mother's parental rights based on the reasons stated in the notice of proposed disposition and the memorandum opinion. (paras 1-3)
