“[T]he availability of a nonadoptive placement with a relative may not ... be considered as a factor weighing against termination of parental rights.” § 39.810(1), Fla. Stat. (2006). Since the child’s mother’s parental rights were terminated earlier, the “child will not be reunited with a parent, [and] adoption, under chapter 63, is the primary permanency option.” § 39.621(6), Fla. Stat. (2006). As the Department of Children and Family Services acknowledges, “the trial court here has not precluded the paternal great grandmother from being among that number seeking to adopt L.K.”
AFFIRMED.
