Appeal from an order of the Family Court of Ulster County (Mizel, J.), entered September 29, 2005, which granted petitioner’s application, in a proceeding pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b, to adjudicate respondent’s child to be permanently neglected, and terminated respondent’s parental rights.
Petitioner commenced a neglect proceeding against respondent in March 2003 due to two incidents earlier that year. The first incident involved a domestic dispute between respondent and her daughter (born in 1993) which resulted in the child calling 911 for assistance. Police responding to the scene found respondent to be agitated and highly intoxicated. The child was taken to the home of a friend in order to diffuse the situation. The second incident involved respondent’s arrest for driving while intoxicated and child endangerment after she lost control of her vehicle and struck a tree. The child was in the car at the time of the accident and it was later determined that respondent had a blood alcohol content over twice the legal limit. Later that night, the child was placed in foster care, where she has remained to date.
On the basis of the aforementioned incidents, Family Court adjudicated respondent’s child to be neglected in April 2004. Petitioner commenced this proceeding in June 2004 alleging that the child had been in petitioner’s custody for over one year and respondent failed to plan for the future of her child, although physically able to do so (see Social Services Law § 384-b [4] [d]; [7] [a]). Following respondent’s admissions to the allegations in the petition, Family Court ultimately determined that the child was permanently neglected and terminated respondent’s parental rights.
We do not agree with respondent’s position that Family Court erred in entering an order terminating her parental rights (see Family Ct Act § 631 [c]; § 634) as opposed to suspending judgment (see Family Ct Act § 631 [b]; § 633). “At a dispositional hearing, Family Court’s only concern is the best interest of the
