This is an appeal from an order of the Juvenile Court of Bibb County terminating parental rights of the appellants. Findings of fact and conclusions of law are required to be made in accordance with Civil Practice Act § 52 (a) (Code Ann. § 81A-152 (a); Ga. L. 1969, pp. 645, 646; 1970, pp. 170, 171) in an action to terminate parental rights. Crook v. Dept. of Human Resources, 137 Ga. App. 817 ( 224 S.E.2d 806); Roberts v. State of Ga., 139 Ga. App. 353 ( 228 S.E.2d 376).

No findings of fact or conclusions of law being entered, we remand the appeal with direction that the juvenile court vacate the judgment, cause appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law to be made, and enter a new judgment thereon, after which the losing party shall be free to enter another appeal.

Appeal remanded with direction. Shulman and Banke, JJ., concur.
