On appeal from the judgment of Justice Carolyn J. Horkins of the Superior Court of Justice, dated June 30, 2015.

ENDORSEMENT

[1] D.D. initially sought an order on appeal setting aside an order of Crown wardship dated December 17, 2014 and in the alternative sought an order for access to her child.

[2] At the hearing of the appeal, she abandoned her appeal against the Crown wardship order, and limited her appeal to the refusal to grant her access.

[3] This child is now 10 years old and has been in the care of the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto since he was six years old. His greatest wish now is to be adopted.

[4] In order that the child may be immediately placed for adoption, we dismiss the appeal from the Crown wardship order as abandoned.

[5] We reserve on the issue of whether there should be an order for access, and our decision on access will be released when we have completed our deliberations on that issue.
