District of Columbia Court of Appeals August 15, 2013, Nos. 12-FS-718, 12-FS-1157 (In re J.C.F.)

PER CURIAM:

These appeals arise from a father’s challenge to the adoption of his child by the child’s step-father -with the consent of the mother. After the father withheld his consent, the trial court found by clear and convincing evidence that the father was doing so contrary to the child’s best interests.
