                         CONFESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

    Based on the concession of error of appellees Department of Children
and Families and the Guardian Ad Litem Program and our own review of
the record, we reverse the order placing the minor children in a permanent
guardianship, because the order does not contain the required statutory
findings for permanent guardianship, and in addition, the order contains
findings that are not supported by the record and appear to be unrelated
to this case.

WARNER, GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
                      *        *        *

Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
