INTRODUCTION
Appellant C.L., a young mother, struggles with drug addiction. In early 2020, her one-year-old baby boy, J.J., was taken into protective custody over fears that C.L. and J.J.’s father, William J., were unable to properly care for the child due to their drug abuse and associated criminal history. C.L. was offered reunification services but did not fully engage in them. She continued to battle her addiction throughout the pendency of the case, all the while denying it posed any significant risk of harm to J.J. The juvenile court disagreed, terminated her parental rights, and chose adoption as J.J.’s permanent plan.
