OPINION

MATHIAS, Judge.

Thomas West ("West") appeals the order of the Howard Circuit Court granting the petition filed by Ronnie D. Sedberry and Sondra A. Sedberry (collectively "the Sedberrys") seeking to adopt West's biological daughter, S.W. On appeal, West claims that the trial court erred in concluding that West's consent to the adoption was not required because of his failure to significantly communicate with S.W.

We affirm.
