AC45693 - In re Eric M. ("The respondent father, Eric S., appeals from the judgment of the trial court rendered for the petitioner, the Commissioner of Children and Families, terminating his parental rights to his minor son, Eric M. (Eric), on the grounds that he failed to achieve a sufficient degree of personal rehabilitation pursuant to General Statutes § 17a-112 (j) (3) (B) (i) and that there is no ongoing parent-child relationship pursuant to § 17a-112 (j) (3) (D). On appeal, the respondent claims that the court improperly (1) determined that the interference exception did not apply to preclude the petitioner from relying on the no ongoing parent-child relationship ground for termination and (2) found that the respondent had not rehabilitated such that he could assume a responsible position in the life of the child. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")

AC45551 - In re Isabella Q. ("The respondent father, Michael Q., appeals from the judgment of the trial court, rendered in favor of the petitioner, the Commissioner of Children and Families, terminating his parental rights with respect to his daughter, Isabella Q. On appeal, the respondent claims that the court improperly concluded that the petitioner established by clear and convincing evidence that (1) pursuant to General Statutes § 17a-112 (j) (1), the respondent was unable or unwilling to benefit from reunification services, (2) the respondent failed to rehabilitate in accordance with § 17a-112 (j) (3) (B) (i), and (3) termination of the respondent's parental rights was in Isabella's best interests pursuant to § 17a-112 (j) (2). We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
