Respondent's request at the dispositional hearing for a suspended judgment was properly denied upon evidence that, notwithstanding petitioner agency's diligent efforts to help respondent, she has failed to develop any realistic plan for the children's future. Despite respondent's recent nominal efforts at rehabilitation, her situation has remained unsettled. The children, who have been in foster care since birth, have bonded with their foster parents, and there is no evidence of a positive, meaningful relationship with respondent to warrant a suspended judgment ( see, Matter of Amanda R., 215 A.D.2d 220, lv. denied 86 N.Y.2d 705). The finding that termination of respondent's parental rights would be in the children's best interests ( see, Family Ct Act § 631; Matter of Michael B., 80 N.Y.2d 299, 313) is supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record ( see, Matter of Latesha Nicole M., 219 A.D.2d 521).
