Before SHEPHERD, EMAS and SCALES, JJ.

     PER CURIAM.
      W.S. (the father), F.H., (a relative) and Alan Mishael, P.A. (“the adoption

entity”) appeal an order that: denied the adoption entity’s motion to intervene and

transfer custody of De.S. (a minor child) to F.H.; and allowed Mr. and Mrs. M.

(prospective adoptive parents) to proceed with the adoption of Do.S. (a minor

child).

      Upon review, we affirm the trial court’s thorough and detailed order, as

there was competent substantial evidence in the record to support the court’s

factual determinations and its application of section 63.082(6)(a)-(e), Florida

Statutes (2015). We also find no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s decision to

allow the adoption of Do.S. to proceed. See G.S. v. T.B., 985 So. 2d 978 (Fla.

2008).

      Affirmed.
