Description
Opinion by JUDGE COYTE Stepfather appeals the trial court's denial of his petition for adoption of his stepchild. We affirm. After hearing on the petition, the trial court found that even though the natural father lived in the same area as the child, he had failed to contact the child for a period of three years and had failed to pay child support, that the natural father had abandoned the child and that his parental rights were subject to termination, that the child is well cared for by the stepfather and has been integrated into the stepfather's home, and that the stepfather is a fit and proper person to adopt the child. However, the court concluded that there was no compelling reason to sever the parent-child relationship so as to permit the child's adoption by the stepfather, that it would be in the best interest of the child to maintain and develop a relationship with his natural father, and that the development of such relationship outweighs the possible adverse effect of the natural father again abandoning the child as he has in the past.
