In re B.S.O., 234 N.C. App. 706 (2014)
Held:
Affirmed
- Although incarceration and/or deportation result in limited opportunities for a parent to care for his or her child, opportunities still exist. A parent may still communicate with the child, pay for the cost of care, and inquire about the child.
- One single event, such as one phone call, does not negate a finding of willful abandonment.
