In a private placement adoption proceeding pursuant to Domestic Relations Law article 7, the biological father appeals from an order of the Surrogate's Court, Nassau County (Radigan, S.), dated July 20, 2000, which, after a hearing, upon a finding that he had abandoned the subject child, determined that his consent to the adoption of the child by the maternal grandparents was not required, and directed the adoption to proceed.
