Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the termination of Mother’s parental rights to Ashlyn pursuant to Me. Rev. Stat. 22, 4055(1)(A)(1)(a) and (B)(2), holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the judgment and the district court’s discretionary determination of Ashlyn’s best interest. Ashlyn, who was thirteen months old at the time of the termination hearing, had lived with her maternal grandparents and her older sister since she was two days old. The Court concluded that there was sufficient evidence to support the district court’s findings, by clear and convincing evidence, of at least one ground of parental unfitness and that termination of Mother’s parental rights was in Ashlyn’s best interest.
