NO PRESUMPTION THE BEST INTERESTS OF A CHILD ARE SERVED BY PLACEMENT WITH A FAMILY MEMBER, FAMILY COURT REVERSED (2ND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Family Court, determined that it was not in the best interests of the children to be removed from foster care and placed with family members:

“When considering guardianship appointments, the child’s best interests are paramount” … . Once parental rights have been terminated, there is no presumption favoring the child’s biological family over the proposed adoptive parents selected by an authorized agency … .

Here, the Family Court’s determination that it was in the children’s best interests to grant the respective petitions for guardianship, rather than keeping the children with their foster parents for the purpose of adoption, lacks the requisite sound and substantial basis in the record … . The children Hailey and Kailyn have resided in the same foster home since June 2015, and the children Danielle and Belicia have resided in the same foster home since November 2015, where they have bonded with their foster parents and are happy, healthy, and well provided for … . There is no presumption that the children’s best interests will be better served by returning them to a family member, and it would not be in the children’s best interests to do so here … . Matter of Rebecca B. v Michael B., 2017 NY Slip Op 05720, 2nd Dept 7-19-17
