1Opinion of the Court

EDWIN H. SMITH, Presiding Judge.

J.R.R. appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Clay County terminating his parental rights to his minor son, B.S.R., and granting the petition of J.R. and P.R., the respondents, for his adoption. The appellant advances two points on appeal. He claims that, in granting the adoption, the trial court erred, in that in doing so, it erroneously declared and applied the law in concluding that his consent to the adoption was unnecessary due to his: (1) willful abandonment of B.S.R.; or, (2) willful, substantial and continuous neglect of him.

We affirm.
