DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Family Court properly denied the mother's motion to vacate her default in appearing at the fact-finding hearing, since she demonstrated neither a reasonable excuse for her default nor a meritorious defense to the proceeding (see, CPLR 5015; Matter of Angel Joseph S., 282 A.D.2d 752; Matter of Aaron R., 282 A.D.2d 464).
The evidence presented at the dispositional hearing supports the Family Court's determination that the child's best interests would be served by terminating the mother's parental rights and freeing him for adoption (see, Social Services Law § 384-b; Family Ct Act § 631; Matter of Star Leslie W., 63 N.Y.2d 136; Matter of Sheila G., 61 N.Y.2d 368).
