Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that adoption petitioners, the child's maternal aunt and uncle, failed to establish by clear and convincing evidence that the child's father had failed to have more than de minimis contact with the child or to provide for the maintenance and support of the child for the relevant period of time. Therefore, the trial court reasonably concluded that father's consent to the adoption was required. Judgment affirmed.
