ADOPTION/GUARDIANSHIP: TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS: INCARCERATED PARENT
CSA No. No. 2912, September Term, 2011. Unreported. Opinion by Kehoe, J. Filed Oct. 23, 2012. RecordFax 12-1023-01, 22 pages. Appeal from Baltimore County. Affirmed.
The juvenile court properly concluded that exceptional circumstances were present in the form of the uncertain prospects of an incarcerated father’s ability to provide a safe and stable home for his 4-year-old son in the foreseeable future, coupled with the lack of any significant emotional bond on the child’s part with his father, and the child’s attachment to the foster parents with whom he had lived for all but three weeks of his life.
