In the Matter of NIGEL S. ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN'S SERVICES, Respondent; NICOLE S., Appellant. (Proceeding No. 1.) In the Matter of SHAION S. ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN'S SERVICES, Respondent; NICOLE S., Appellant. (Proceeding No. 2.) In the Matter of NICHOLAS SCOTT MARTIN E ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN'S SERVICES, Respondent; NICOLE S., Appellant. (Proceeding No. 3.) In the Matter of NISHAN S. ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN'S SERVICES, Respondent; NICOLE S., Appellant. (Proceeding No. 4.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

The petitioner met its burden of establishing, by a preponderance of the evidence, that a plan to change the permanency goal to adoption was in the children's best interests ( see Matter of Jennifer R., 29 AD3d 1003, 1004). The Family Court's determination to approve a permanency goal of adoption has a sound and substantial basis in the record ( see Matter of Darlene L., 38 AD3d 552, 554).
