IN THE MATTER OF JULIA P. (ANONYMOUS), ET AL. ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, respondent; v. CHRISTINE B. (ANONYMOUS), appellant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order of fact-finding and disposition is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

The Family Court properly found that there was clear and convincing evidence that the mother is presently and for the foreseeable future unable, by reason of mental illness, to provide proper and adequate care for the subject children ( see Social Services Law § 384-b[c]; Matter of Karan Ann B., 293 A.D.2d 673; Matter of Angel Guardian Home v. Nereida C., 199 A.D.2d 500).

The Family Court providently exercised its discretion by not conducting a separate dispositional hearing ( see Matter of Joyce T., 65 N.Y.2d 39, 46; Matter of Erica D., 294 A.D.2d 435, 436; Matter of Children's Aid Socy., 237 A.D.2d 353, 354; Matter of Michelle H., 228 A.D.2d 440, 441).

S. MILLER, J.P., ADAMS, COZIER and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
