On Confession of Error

SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.

Pursuant to the Department’s admirable and well-taken confession of error, the supplemental adjudication of dependency of the subject child as to the appellant mother is reversed and the cause is remanded for further proceedings. As the Department admits, “it appears that the heart of the matter was the Appellant/Mother I.D.’s lack of financial resources. See Brown v. Feaver, 726 So.2d 322 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999).”

Reversed and remanded.
