In re Adoption of Baby Girl G.

Summary

The court declined to reach the father's constitutional challenge to the statutory basis for termination because he had not raised it in either lower court and did not establish an exception to the preservation requirement. On the merits, the court held that clear and convincing evidence supported the finding that he failed without reasonable cause to provide meaningful support to the mother during the final six months of pregnancy. The court affirmed the Court of Appeals and district court judgments, while remanding the attorney-fee issue for reconsideration.
