Term. of Parent-Child Rel. of S.F. and D.L., and Sherry F., David F., and David L. v. Porter Co. Dept. of Child Services (NFP), a 22-page opinion, Judge Crone writes:

Appellant Sherry F. (“Mother”) appeals the involuntary termination of her parental rights, in Porter Circuit Court, to her sons S.F. and D.L. We affirm.

Mother raises the following issues on appeal: I. Whether the trial court’s judgment is supported by clear and convincing evidence; and, II. Whether Mother was denied due process of law when the trial court failed to set a review hearing during the CHINS proceedings. * * *

In sum, we find clear and convincing evidence supports the trial court’s judgment terminating Mother’s parental rights to S.F. and D.L. Additionally, we conclude that the alleged procedural irregularity in the underlying CHINS proceedings did not serve to deprive Mother of due process during the termination proceedings. Accordingly, we find no error. Affirmed.
