SULLIVAN, J.,
concurring in result.
Were it not for the individualized medical necessities required by the child and the reasonable conclusion that R.G. and T.G. are, and will be in the future, unable to recognize and deal with possible symptoms and emergencies, I would dissent. See Dull v. Delaware County Department of Public Welfare (1988) 2d Dist. Ind.App., 521 N.E.2d 972, 977 (Sullivan, J., dissenting). The existence of those factors, however, prompt my concurrence in result.
I do not subscribe to the possible failure of the child to "reach his full potential" (at 329) as a basis for termination of parental rights. Neither do I agree with the implication of the majority opinion that "the current lifestyle with his foster family" (at 880) or that the foster home environment as more condu*331cive to the child's "development," justifies termination of parental rights.
For the reasons stated, I concur in result.
