OPINION

STOWERS, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

Robert appeals the superior court's decision that his consent was not required for his biological daughter's adoption. 1 The superi- or court accepted the superior court standing master's recommendation that Robert's consent was not required under AS 25.23.050 because he had abandoned his daughter for a period of over six months, failed to provide for her care and support for over one year, and failed to meaningfully communicate with her for over one year. Because the abandonment finding is well-supported by the record, we affirm.
