OPINION

BAILEY, Judge.

Case Summary

Appellant Matthew White ("White") appeals an order of the Morgan County Circuit Court granting the adoption of White's children T.W. and D.W. ("the Children") by their great-uncle and great-aunt, Appel-lees Gary and Rachel Silbernagel ("the Silbernagels"). We affirm.

Issue

White presents two issues for review, which we consolidate and restate as one: whether the trial court erroneously concluded that White's consent to the adoptions was not required, pursuant to Indiana Code Section 31-19-9-8, subsections (a)(2)(A) and (a)(11).
