Syllabus
ADOPTION: In resolving stepfather's petition to adopt children without the consent of their natural father, the probate court properly weighed father's minimal efforts to reestablish contact with his children as well as mother's limited actions to interfere or discourage that contact therefore, the probate court did not lose its way in making the determination that father's failure to contact the children, over the course of the whole statutory look-back period, was not excused by justifiable cause.
