Juveniles – TPR — placement

Dwayne F. Jr. appeals the order terminating his parental rights to his daughter, Nylah F. Dwayne F. argues that the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion in determining that Nylah F.’s best interest involved a guardianship with the Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare, with the expectation that Nylah F. would be adopted by the foster family with whom she had lived most her life and in whose care she had thrived. According to Dwayne F., the court should have ordered placement with his father, Dwayne F. Sr., instead. This court disagrees with Dwayne F. and concludes that the trial court properly exercised its discretion. Consequently, this court affirms the trial court’s order. This opinion will not be published.
