In re Adoption (And

Massachusetts Appeals Court

Decided May 1, 2018No. 17–P–555Published

1Opinion of the Court

After trial, a judge of the Juvenile Court found the father unfit to parent his two daughters, Maryanne and Sara, terminated his parental rights, and approved the adoption plan of the Department of Children and Families (department), pursuant to G. L. c. 210, § 3. On appeal, the father contends that (1) the department failed to furnish adequate support services in order to transition the children to his care; (2) the judge failed to consider much of the evidence favorable to him; and (3) the judge placed inappropriate weight on the children's bonds with the foster parents. We affirm.
