STROUD, Judge.

This appeal arises from a private termination of parental rights action between two parents. Respondent, the mother of minor child N.A.C. ("Natalie"),1 appeals from the trial court's order terminating her parental rights on the ground of willful abandonment. We affirm.

Petitioner, the biological father of Natalie, and respondent never married.
