WIEAND, Judge,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. In my judgment the trial court was in possession of ample facts to make a custody determination. Moreover, the reasons for continuing custody of appellant’s dependent daughters in the Union County Child Welfare Services were not only convincing but compelling. Those reasons have been set forth in the comprehensive opinion of the trial court, and no good purpose would be served by repeating them here. Suffice it to say that appellant’s circumstances are such that he is unable physically or financially to provide adequate care for his daughters. I would affirm the order denying his petition to resume custody.
