Termination of parents’ rights AFFIRMED, as evidence supported it; mother failed to comply with reunification case plans, was uncooperative with drug screener, failed to pay child support consistently and failed to maintain stable housing and employment; father was incarcerated majority of time between shelter order and hearing on termination petition, he continued his alcohol abuse and was terminated from program to assist with his drinking and anger problems; continued deprivation was likely to cause harm, since children had been in foster care for three years and foster parents provided children with security and stability that mother did not.
