Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
We accept the State’s concession of error and reverse the judgment. The record does not support the trial court’s finding that the mother had been warned that she was required to appear at the continuation of the adjudicatory hearing, giving “the date, time, and location of said hearing.” See § 39.801(S)(d), Fla. Stat. (2007). Without such a specific warning, she cannot be deemed to have consented to a termination of her parental rights by her non-appearance. Because the final order fails to find any other basis for termination of her parental rights, a new adjudicatory hearing will be necessary.
Reversed.

Here, the trial judge lacked jurisdiction to, sua sponte, vacate the July 10 final order because the June 23, 2008 order was entered more than ten days after the [*1274] final order dismissing the case. See Corzo Trucking Corp. v. West, 974 So. 2d 627, 628 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008) (noting that if “the trial court intended to reverse itself on the motion to vacate the default judgment, it had to do so within ten days of the original order”); Penalba v.
