BEFORE: LAZARUS, P.J., KUNSELMAN, J., and McLAUGHLIN, J.

JUDGMENT ORDER BY McLAUGHLIN, J.: FILED: MARCH 3, 2025

This is an appeal taken by A.R.M. (“Mother”) from the orders changing

her children’s (“Children”) permanency goal from reunification to adoption.

Mother separately appealed from the decrees terminating her parental rights

as to Children at No. 892 MDA 2024. On January 30, 2025, we affirmed the

decrees terminating Mother’s parental rights. See In the Matter of: E.E.R.,

a Minor, No. 892 MDA 2024, 2025 WL 339616, at *1 (Pa.Super. filed Jan. 30,

2025) (unpublished mem.). As a result, Mother’s challenge to the permanency

goal change in the instant appeal is moot given our decision to affirm the

involuntarily termination of Mother’s parental rights. See Int. of A.M., 256

A.3d 1263, 1272-73 (Pa.Super. 2021) (finding issues regarding goal change

moot in light of termination of parental rights). We therefore dismiss the

instant appeal from the orders granting the petitions for goal change.

Appeal dismissed.
