Adoption of R.E.M.
No. 20230321
Per Curiam.
[¶1] B.G.M. appeals a district court order denying his petition to adopt R.E.M. B.G.M. argues the court clearly erred in finding J.S.M., the child’s biological father, did not abandon the child. B.G.M. also argues the court erred in finding J.S.M.’s consent to the adoption was required for it to proceed under N.D.C.C. § 14-15-06(1)(a), (b), or (j). Based on our review of the record, we conclude the court’s findings are not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
