Division I
121,345 – In the Matter of K.E. and E.Y., Alleged Deprived Children, Maria Rivas, Appellant, v. State of Oklahoma, Appellee. Appeal from the District Court of Creek County, Oklahoma. Honorable Laura Farris, Trial Judge. Maria Rivas (Mother) appeals the trial court’s June 12, 2023, orders terminating her parental rights as to K.E. and E.Y. Mother raises three propositions of error arguing the trial court erred in finding termination was in the children’s best interest, in finding she failed to correct the conditions that led to the deprived adjudication, and in finding the children could not be safely returned to Mother. We have reviewed the record and are not persuaded by Mother’s arguments. Clear and convincing evidence supports termination. We AFFIRM. Opinion by DOWNING, J.; SWINTON, J., CONCURS, and GOREE, P.J., CONCURS IN PART AND DISSENTS IN PART. Dec, 27, 2023
