J.S. v. State, Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 29, 1993 · Danahy, Schoonover, Threadgill
629 So. 2d 1055; 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 13193; 1993 WL 540199 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

J.S. v. State, Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services

Opinion of the Court

THREADGILL, Judge.

Appellant, the natural father, challenges the order terminating his parental rights to his minor children, J.S. and C.S., and permanently committing the children to the State of Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (H.R.S.) for adoption.

We have carefully reviewed the entire record of these proceedings, considered the briefs and arguments of the attorneys and find that H.R.S. has proved by clear and convincing evidence the need for termination of parental rights. See § 39.464(5), Fla.Stat. (1991); Padgett v. Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, 577 So.2d 565 (Fla. 1991).

We therefore affirm.

DANAHY, A.C.J., and SCHOONOVER, J., concur.
