IN RE: CHARISMA MAHILYA D. (Anonymous). (2005)

In a proceeding, inter alia, pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b to terminate parental rights, the mother appeals from an order of fact-finding and disposition of the Family Court, Kings County (Freeman, J.), dated January 23, 2004, which, after a hearing, found that she permanently neglected the subject child, terminated her parental rights, and transferred guardianship and custody of the subject child to the petitioner for the purpose of adoption.

ORDERED that the order of fact-finding and disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The evidence adduced at the hearing demonstrated that the subject child's best interest would be served by terminating the mother's parental rights and freeing the child for adoption (see Social Services Law § 384-b[1][b];  Matter of Antonio Alexis V., 293 A.D.2d 683, 684, 740 N.Y.S.2d 650;  Matter of Samantha Bernadette Theresa V., 287 A.D.2d 499, 731 N.Y.S.2d 626;  Matter of Booker Tony F., 232 A.D.2d 413, 648 N.Y.S.2d 329;  Matter of Maldrina R., 219 A.D.2d 723, 631 N.Y.S.2d 742).

The mother's remaining contentions are without merit.
