Matter of Rosario

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 8, 1993
191 A.D.2d 495 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

March 8, 1993

Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (De Phillips, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The weight of the credible evidence adduced at the hearing fails to support the natural parents' assertion that their consent to the adoption was procured through the use of fraud, coercion, or undue influence. The claims of the natural parents are directly contradicted by the testimony of disinterested witnesses whose testimony supports the conclusion that the natural parents consented freely (see, Matter of Sarah K., 66 N.Y.2d 223; Matter of Baby Girl Z., 154 A.D.2d 471; Matter of "Female" D., 83 A.D.2d 933).

We have considered the natural parents' remaining contentions and find that they are without merit. Rosenblatt, J.P., Lawrence, O'Brien and Copertino, JJ., concur.
