KAMINS, J.
Father appeals a judgment terminating his parental rights to his two sons, assigning 12 errors, each of which challenges the juvenile court's finding that he is unfit. ORS 419B.504 ("The rights of the parent or parents may be terminated as provided in ORS 419B.500 if the court finds that the parent or parents are unfit by reason of conduct or condition seriously detrimental to the child or ward and integration of the child or ward into the home of the parent is improbable within a reasonable time due to conduct or conditions not likely to change."). Exercising de novo review, ORS 19.415(3)(a), and having considered the entirety of the evidentiary record, we conclude, as did the juvenile court, that there is clear and convincing evidence that the statutory standards for termination are met.
Affirmed.
