IN THE MATTER OF PARIIS L. (ANONYMOUS). ROBERT P. (ANONYMOUS), appellant; ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN'S SERVICES, respondent.

ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The petitioner agency established by clear and convincing evidence that the appellant, presently and for the foreseeable future, will be unable to provide proper and adequate care for his child (see, Social Services Law § 384-b[c]; Matter of Hime Y., 52 N.Y.2d 242). After interviewing the appellant and reviewing the appellant's records, the court-appointed psychiatrist testified that the appellant suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. She opined that because of the long-term nature of the illness, the severity of the symptoms that have manifested, the appellant's noncompliance with treatment, and his lack of insight about his illness, the child, if returned to the appellant, would be at risk of being neglected in the present and in the foreseeable future. This evidence supported the Family Court's findings (see, Matter of Laura D., 270 A.D.2d 260; Matter of Commitment of Gilbert R., 247 A.D.2d 227).

KRAUSMAN, J.P., McGINITY, SCHMIDT and ADAMS, JJ., concur.
