Opinion
July 5, 1988
Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Schecter, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the mother's contentions, the record before us amply supports the Family Court's finding that Angel Guardian Home fulfilled its statutory obligation (see, Social Services Law § 384-b) of employing diligent efforts to strengthen the parent-child relationship (see, e.g., Matter of Star Leslie W., 63 N.Y.2d 136). Moreover, the agency sustained its burden of demonstrating, by clear and convincing evidence (see, Matter of Sheila G., 61 N.Y.2d 368), that the mother permanently neglected the infant despite the agency's repeated offers of assistance (see, Matter of Orlando F., 40 N.Y.2d 103; Matter of Ann Marie D., 127 A.D.2d 764; Matter of Lisa L., 117 A.D.2d 931). Hence, we discern no basis for disturbing the dispositional order under review. Thompson, J.P., Spatt, Sullivan and Harwood, JJ., concur.
