Before SHEPHERD, ROTHENBERG and LOGUE, JJ.

     SHEPHERD, J.
                            CONFESSION OF ERROR

      Based on the Department of Children and Families’ commendable

confession of error, and our independent review of the record, we reverse and

remand this case for the trial court to make specific findings of fact in its

permanent guardianship order, stating the reasons why the child’s mother is not fit

to care for the child and why reunification is not possible, as required under section

39.6221(2)(a) of the Florida Statutes (2015).
