Appeal of H.R. (In the Matter of BABY BOY C.)

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided August 29, 1990.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas C. Jones, Jr., Washington, D.C., for appellant. Thomas R. Spradlin, Washington, D.C., entered an appearance.

David S. Klontz, with whom Michael P. Bentzen, Washington, D.C. was on the brief, for appellees.

Before ROGERS, Chief Judge, and FERREN and BELSON, Associate Judges.

PER CURIAM.

In this appeal from an order of adoption, this court addresses the question whether H.R., a natural father who seeks custody of his child, grasped his "opportunity interest" in developing a relationship with his child, and, if so, whether the trial judge applied the correct standard in concluding that Baby Boy C.'s best interest called for his adoption by the O. family over H.R.'s objection.
