¶ 1. PATIENCE DRAKE ROGGENSACK, J.

Because we conclude that P.P.'s parental rights were terminated by use of a statutory scheme that requires a showing of unfitness before termination of parental rights can occur, that such a showing was made and that P.P. did not contest the validity of the order that formed the basis for the State's petition, we affirm the decision of the court of appeals.
