In the Matter of the ADOPTION OF JLP. RHF, Appellant (Respondent), v. RMC and RNC, Appellees (Petitioners).

Supreme Court of Wyoming.

May 25, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James A. Raymond of Brown, Raymond & Rissler, P.C., Casper, for appellant.

Eric A. Distad, Casper, for appellees.

Before CARDINE, C.J., and THOMAS, URBIGKIT, MACY and GOLDEN, JJ.


MACY, Justice.

Appellant RHF appeals from an order terminating his parental rights to JLP and from a subsequent decree of adoption by which appellee RNC, as stepfather of JLP and husband of appellee RMC, adopted the minor child. Appellant, as a convicted rapist serving a lengthy prison sentence, essentially challenges the determination that he is unfit to have custody and control of the minor child.

We affirm.
