Mother’s Consent to Adoption Not Required

The Third Department determined mother’s consent to adoption was not required due to her failure to seek treatment for drug and alcohol problems and lack of contact with the child:

“Consent to adoption is not required of a parent who ‘evinces an intent to forego his or her parental or custodial rights and obligations as manifested by his or her failure for a period of six months to visit the child and communicate with the child or person having legal custody of the child, although able to do so'” … . “Once the petitioner makes such a showing by clear and convincing evidence, the burden shifts to the parent to demonstrate sufficient contact or an inability to engage in such contact”… . * * *

The record not only reflects that the mother failed to demonstrate an acceptable reason for the absence of contact or communication for over six months, but also that the impediments contributing to such absence of contact resulted from the mother’s own acts and lack of effort … . Matter of Lori QQ, 2014 NY Slip Op 04105, 3rd Dept 6-5-14
