Opinion:
ORDER
Per curiam:
G.D.C., Jr. ("Father") appeals from a judgment terminating his parental rights to J.M.C. and D.J.C. Father argues that the trial court erred in finding clear, cogent, and convincing evidence to terminate his parental rights. Father also contends that the trial court abused its discretion in finding that termination of parental rights served the children's best interests. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
