A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to two children, M. and S. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find reasonable efforts were made to reunify given the mother’s level of participation, a statutory ground for termination was established, termination is in the children’s best interests, and the court correctly declined to apply any exceptions to termination, we affirm.
