Presiding Justice KNECHT delivered the opinion of the court:
On September 16, 2003, the trial court adjudicated respondent, Johnny King, unfit and terminated his parental rights over the minor child, J.D., born March 17, 2001. Respondent appeals, arguing the court lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the adjudication of parental unfitness and termination of parental rights because J.D. was not represented by independent counsel. We affirm.
