WILLIAM B. CAIN, J.,

¶1concurring.

¶2I disagree with the standard of review employed by the court in this case for the reasons discussed at more length in In re Z.J.S., No. M2002-02235-COA-R3-JV, 2003 WL 21266854, at *18-22 (Tenn.Ct.App. June 3, 2003) (No Tenn. R.App. P. 11 application filed); Estate of Acuff v. O’Linger, 56 S.W.3d 527, 533-37 (Tenn.Ct.App.2001). However, I would reach the same result employing the standard of review recited in Acuff v. O’Linger, 56 S.W.3d 527 at 537. Therefore, I concur with the court’s decision to reverse the order terminating R.G.L.’s parental rights.
