Order

C.C. (Birth Mother) appeals from the trial court's grant of L.M. (Adoptive Mother) and M.M. (Adoptive Father)’s petition for adoption of R.R.C. (Child). Birth Mother raises a single point on appeal; she argues that “there [wa]s insufficient evidence of abandonment” to satisfy the clear and convincing burden of proof. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
