Given [the mother's] mental capacity, her inability to care for [the children] by herself, and the fact that the child[ren]'s foster parents wish to adopt [them], the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in finding that termination of [the mother's] parental rights serves the best interests of the child[ren].”
