Syllabus

The trial court did not err in determining birth father's consent to the adoption was not required pursuant to R.C. 3107.07(A) where birth father failed to have more than de minimis contact with the child in the year preceding the filing of the adoption petition. Birth father did not file timely objections to the magistrate's decision, and birth father did not demonstrate plain error from the trial court's adoption of the magistrate's decision that his consent to the adoption was not required.
