Appeal from permanency hearing order, same court (Christopher W. Coffey, Referee), entered on or about July 23, 2015, which determined that petitioner agency had exercised reasonable efforts to make and finalize the permanency plan of adoption, unanimously dismissed, without costs. A preponderance of the evidence supports the Family Court’s order denying petitioner maternal aunt’s application to have custody of the child returned to her (see Matter of Keith H. [Logann M.K.] , 113 AD3d 555, 556-557 [1st Dept 2014]). The hearing demonstrated that the child has special needs that are being met by his foster mother, he is thriving in her care and he is living with his two older siblings, who had already been adopted by the foster mother (see Matter of Ender M.Z.-P. v. Administration for Children’s Servs. , 128 AD3d 713 [2d Dept 2015]).
