            A father appeals the termination of his parental rights, claiming there is not sufficient evidence to support the court’s finding that the child cannot be returned to him at present.  OPINION HOLDS: Because the child cannot be returned to the father’s custody at present without risk of adjudicatory harm, there is clear and convincing evidence to terminate the father’s parental rights.
