*590 The oral arguments, the briefs and the record in this case have been considered by this court. We hold that there is sufficient evidence to support the trial court's termination of Frank Ferguson's parental rights in his minor son. Under the specific facts of this case, all services reasonably available to correct Mr. Ferguson's parental deficiencies were offered. Accordingly, we reverse the divided Court of Appeals which held to the contrary. See In re Ferguson, 32 Wn. App. 865, 650 P.2d 1118 (1982).
