No. 98-00460.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The mother of J.D. challenges the trial court's order terminating her parental rights. We affirm the final judgment because, after reviewing the record, we conclude that the Department of Children and Families met its burden of establishing the need for termination of parental rights by clear and convincing evidence.
