Adoption of B.A.T.
No. 20180137
Per Curiam.
[¶1] The biological father of a minor child appealed from an order terminating his parental rights and granting a petition for stepparent adoption. The father argues the juvenile court erred in finding he abandoned the child and in terminating his parental rights. We conclude the juvenile court did not clearly err in finding the father abandoned the child and in terminating his parental rights. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
