In the Matter of FEMALE D., Also Known as EBONY D., a Child Alleged to be Neglected.

ST. VINCENT'S SERVICES, Respondent; WINTHROP W., Appellant.

Decided July 1, 2002.

Florio, J.P., Friedmann, H. Miller and Crane, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the fact-finding and dispositional order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The father failed to preserve for appellate review his claim that the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution was violated because the mother was offered a judicial surrender of her parental rights (see Social Services Law § 383-c [3]), while he was not offered a similar opportunity to execute a judicial surrender.
