Description
The district court terminated T.D.s parental rights to her fifth child after finding that she failed to rebut the presumption of parental unfitness that arose when she involuntarily transferred custody of her fourth child and that four other statutory grounds supported termination. T.D. challenges the termination, arguing that the district court erred by taking judicial notice of the involuntary-transfer order and that she overcame the presumption of unfitness. We hold that the district court properly relied on the involuntary-transfer order and that T.D. did not introduce sufficient evidence to overcome the presumption. Because the record establishes a statutory ground for termination of parental rights, we affirm the district court. Because T.D. submitted material outside the record on appeal and Minnesota courts have not created an exception in termination-of-parental-rights cases that would permit this court to consider the material, we grant the guardian ad litems motion to strike.
