The appellant mother appealed an order making her child a Crown ward with no access.
The Court of Appeal previously ordered a new assessment because the proposed adoptive parents had separated.
The court-appointed assessor reported that the child was thriving with the adoptive family and would suffer emotional distress if moved.
The Court of Appeal accepted the assessor's recommendation, found it was in the child's best interests to remain with the adoptive family, and dismissed the appeal regarding Crown wardship and access.
A constitutional question regarding delay was deferred.
