In the Interest of J.S., a Child. J.S., natural father, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES, Appellee.
    No. 92-01697.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Dec. 29, 1993.
    Elizabeth Anne Goodale, Largo, for appellant.
    Cynthia D. Ennis, Sr. Atty., Dept, of Health and Rehabilitative Services, St. Pe-tersburg, for appellee.
   THREADGILL, Judge.

Appellant, the natural father, challenges the order terminating his parental rights to his minor child, J.S., and permanently committing the child to the State of Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (H.R.S.) for adoption.

We have carefully reviewed the entire record of these proceedings, considered the briefs and arguments, of the attorneys and find that H.R.S. has proved by clear and convincing evidence the need for termination of parental rights. See § 39.464(3), Fla.Stat. (Supp.1990); Padgett v. Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, 577 So.2d 565 (Fla.1991).

We therefore affirm.

DANAHY, A.C.J., and SCHOONOVER, J., concur.
