R.P., JR. v. T.A.C. K.B.C. and S.L.P., A Child

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court affirmed the Lyon Circuit Court’s order terminating the biological father’s parental rights and granting the stepfather’s adoption petition. The Court held that the trial court’s findings of abandonment and failure to provide essential care were supported by clear and convincing evidence. Accordingly, the adoption was proper and the father’s appeal was denied.
