DANDREA L. RlJHLMANN, J.
Court-ordered post-termination contact between respondent mother and her four-year-old daughter is denied. Respondent Christina W.’s parental rights were terminated as she is unable by reason of mental illness to provide proper and adequate care for her daughter, Imani W. (date of birth: xx/xx/2005), who has been in petitioner Monroe County Department of Human Services’s care since about the time of her birth (Social Services Law § 384-b [6] [a]). Respondent failed to prove that such continued visitation is in Imani’s best interests.
