STRINGER, Judge.

C.B., the Mother, seeks review of a final judgment terminating her parental rights to her now four-year-old daughter, J.B. The judgment was based upon the Mother's implied consent to termination due to the fact that she failed to appear for the adjudicatory hearing. See § 39.801(3)(d), Fla. Stat. (2005). Based on the trial court's finding that the Mother did not make a reasonable effort to be present at the hearing, we affirm.
