Syllabus

The trial court reasonably concluded that Father's consent to Stepfather's adoption of Father's biological child was not required because, in the year before the adoption petition was filed, Father failed, without justifiable cause, to have more than de minimis contact with the child and to provide maintenance and support for the child. The court's conclusion was supported by the weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed.
