Syllabus

Probate court did not err in determining the best interests of the minor child when granting stepfather's petition for adoption. The court properly refused to consider appellant father's flawed affidavit and did not abuse its discretion when evaluating the evidence presented to establish that the child's best interest under the factors set forth in R.C. 3107.161(B). Proceedings in the adoption matter granted appellant the required notice and opportunity to be heard to comport with the constitutional due process requirements.
