Adoption of H.W.L.

No. 20240289

Per Curiam. [¶1] C.F.R. claims the district court erred in finding by clear and convincing evidence that he abandoned his child, thereby allowing another person to adopt H.W.L. without C.F.R.’s consent. C.F.R. also claims the court abused its discretion by terminating his parental rights and granting a petition for adoption. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4). See Interest of J.C., 2024 ND 9, ¶¶ 7, 22, 2 N.W.3d 228. [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J.
