In the Matter of: FLBH, FJH, JR., FH, FLHH, and FEH

This is a termination of parental rights case. By final order entered in April 2008, the trial court terminated the parental rights of Respondent/Appellant Betsy Hawkins (Mother)² to her five children, F.L.B.H.; F.J.H., Jr.; F.H.; F.L.H.H.; and F.E.H., based on persistence of conditions. Mother filed a timely notice of appeal to this Court. Sometime prior to the transmission of the record to this Court, nine exhibits were misplaced in the trial court.³ Petitioner/Appellee State of Tennessee, Department of Children’s Services (“the State”) and Mother agree that the missing exhibits cannot be recreated for the purpose of review on appeal.
