Simon SCHWARZ, Appellant, v. Judith PURCELL, Appellee.
    No. 98-2125.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    April 28, 1999.
    Simon Schwarz, in proper person.
    Thomas H. Connors, Coconut Grove, for appellee.
    Before COPE, GREEN, and SHEVIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

As there is substantial competent evidence in the record to support the trial court’s conclusion that the birth mother did not abandon her minor child as defined by section 63.032(14), Florida Statutes (1997); see also In Interest of D.A.H., 390 So.2d 379, 381 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980); P.S. v. State, 384 So.2d 656, 657 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980); Solomon v. McLucas, 382 So.2d 339, 344 (Fla. 2d DCA 1980), we affirm the final order denying the maternal uncle’s petition of adoption.

Affirmed.
