Steven Banks, New York, N.Y. (Tamara A. Steckler and Elana Roffman of counsel), attorney for the child.
In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6 and Social Services Law § 384–b to terminate parental rights on the ground of permanent neglect, the mother appeals, as limited by her brief, from so much of an order of fact-finding and disposition (one paper) of the Family Court, Queens County (Richroath, J.), dated October 26, 2011, as, upon a finding of permanent neglect, entered upon the mother's default, and upon a dispositional hearing, terminated the mother's parental rights and transferred custody and guardianship of the subject child to the petitioners for the purpose of adoption.
ORDERED that the order of fact-finding and disposition is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The Family Court providently exercised its discretion in terminating the mother's parental rights, as a preponderance of the evidence adduced at the dispositional hearing established that it would be in the *328subject child's best interests to be freed for adoption by his foster parent ( see Matter of Jamel Raheem B., 89 A.D.3d 933, 935, 933 N.Y.S.2d 307;Matter of Andrea B., 66 A.D.3d 770, 771, 887 N.Y.S.2d 213;Matter of Chyanne H., 62 A.D.3d 876, 879 N.Y.S.2d 550;Matter of Tyria W., 41 A.D.3d 859, 860, 838 N.Y.S.2d 184;Matter of Olivia Susan C., 2 A.D.3d 441, 442, 767 N.Y.S.2d 798).
