Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Steuben County (Peter C. Bradstreet, J.), entered March 20, 2009 in a proceeding pursuant to
It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum: Respondent mother appeals from an order terminating her parental rights with respect to her daughter based on a finding of permanent neglect and freeing her daughter for adoption. The mother failed to preserve for our review her contention that Family Court should have entered a suspended judgment (see Matter of Charles B., 46 AD3d 1430, 1431 [2007], lv denied 10 NY3d 705 [2008]) and, in any event, that contention lacks merit. “[T]he record supports the court‘s determination that any progress made by the [mother] ‘was not sufficient to warrant any further prolongation of the child‘s unsettled familial status’ ” (Matter of Tiara B. [Torrence B.], 70 AD3d 1307, 1308 [2010]). Furthermore, “the mother did not ask the court to consider post-termination contact with the child[ ] in question or to conduct a hearing on that issue, and we conclude in any event that she ‘failed to establish that such contact would be in the best interests of the child[ ]’ ” (Matter of Christopher J., 60 AD3d 1402, 1403 [2009]). Present—Centra, J.P., Peradotto, Lindley, Sconiers and Gorski, JJ.
