    In the Matter of Isaiah T. F.-C. Administration for Children’s Services, Respondent; Charisse F., Respondent. D’Juan C., Nonparty Appellant.
    [997 NYS2d 642]
   Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (Edward W. Yuskevich, Ct. Atty. Ref.), dated September 3, 2013. The order, insofar as appealed from, after a permanency hearing, continued the permanency goal of placement of the subject child for adoption.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

Contrary to the appellant’s contention, the petitioner met its burden of establishing, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the continuation of the permanency goal of placement of the subject child for adoption was in the child’s best interests (see Matter of Acension C.L. [Jesate J.], 96 AD3d 1059, 1060 [2012]; Matter of Cristella B., 65 AD3d 1037, 1039 [2009]). The Family Court’s determination to continue the permanency goal of placement for adoption had a sound and substantial basis in the record (see Matter of Tsulyn A. [Deborah A.], 115 AD3d 948 [2014]; Matter of Duane S., Jr. [Duane S.], 103 AD3d 645 [2013]).
