PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.


This appeal by the mother from a judgment terminating her parental rights in her child is here for the second time. We previously affirmed the judgment. 54 Or. App. 779, 642 P.2d 704 (1981). The Supreme Court allowed mother's petition for review and remanded the case to us for reconsideration in light of Santosky v. Kramer, 455 U.S. 745, 102 S Ct 1388, 71 L Ed 2d 599 (1982). See also State ex rel Juv. Dept. v. Farrell, 292 Or. 822, 642 P.2d 1167 (1982).

On remand in State ex rel Juv. Dept. v. Farrell, 58 Or. App. 258, 648 P.2d 401 (1982), we held that ORS 419.525(2) was unconstitutional insofar as it allowed termination of parental rights by applying a preponderance of the evidence standard of proof. We have reexamined the record in light of the appropriate burden of proof on de novo review and adhere to our original decision affirming the judgment terminating mother's parental rights.

Affirmed.
