The appellate court approved the termination of the father's parental rights to four children. Two of the children had FAE. (*4)

The trial court, in deciding to terminate Dixon's parental rights, emphasized that it would be in the best interests of the children to be raised by someone who understood and could respond to "their special needs", including the FAE. (*4).

At one time a case plan had been prepared for Dixon that included "engag[ing]in a support group for Fetal Alcohol syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effects." (* 1). Apparently Dixon failed to do so.
