PER CURIAM.
A.E. appeals the trial court’s final judgment terminating her rights as to three of her children based on abandonment. We affirm. Under our “highly deferential” standard, S.C. v. Dep’t of Children & Families, 311 So. 3d 971, 972 (Fla. 1st DCA 2020), the trial judge did not err. A.E.’s admitted failures to maintain a significant relationship with her children both in and out of incarceration, even “considered in light of the limited opportunities to assume those duties” while incarcerated, B.F. v. Dep’t. of Children & Families, 237 So. 3d 390, 393 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018),
support the trial judge’s findings on both abandonment and the manifest best interests of the children. AFFIRMED. LEWIS, NORDBY, and LONG, JJ., concur. _____________________________
