2. Whether the Superior Court of Pennsylvania committed an error of law when it placed father's effort above findings of "repeated and continued incapacity" caused by his incarceration, under 23 Pa.C.S. § 2511(a)(2), and in not considering the effect of father's incapacity on the child's need for essential parental care, control or subsistence.
