Syllabus

Appellee is the biological mother of the child appellant seeks to adopt. The probate court concluded that appellant had not sustained her burden to establish, by clear and convincing evidence, that appellee's failure to have contact with the child in the year before the adoption petition was filed was without justifiable cause. This conclusion was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed.
