Order unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum:
Family Court properly determined after a hearing that the natural father's consent in this adoption proceeding was not required. The father, who has been in military service since 1980, was not notified until April 1991 of the pendency of an adoption proceeding. The child was placed with the adoptive parents within six months of birth and has continued to reside with them since February 1990.
