Diane V. Bruns, Ithaca, for appellant.
Amy B. Merklen, County Attorney, Delhi, for Delaware County Department of Social Services, respondent.
Douglas E. Coleman, Hudson, attorney for the child.
Before: Rose, Stein, McCarthy and Garry, JJ.
Respondent Edward S., who is the father of Kyle S. (born in 1991), appeals from two orders of Family Court which, respectively, granted petitioner's application for approval of Kyle's placement in petitioner's custody by his mother, respondent Kelly S., and subsequently continued Kyle's placement in foster care. In light of the fact that the child has since attained the age of 18 ( see Matter of Shontae R., 48 AD3d 1006) and has consented to his continued placement, these appeals have been rendered moot and must be dismissed.
Ordered that the appeals are dismissed, as moot, without costs.
