Opinion
March 24, 1992
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Leah Marks, J.).
The report of the court appointed psychiatrist constitutes clear and convincing evidence that respondent is presently and for the foreseeable future unable to provide proper and adequate care for the child due to mental illness (Social Services Law § 384-b [c]). The court's disposition committing guardianship and custody of the child to petitioners was soundly based on the best interests of the child (Family Ct Act § 623).
