FINAL ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before me for entry of a Final Order in two consolidated
cases. The Recommended Order concludes as to Case No. 06-0347 that
petitioner did not establish her fitness for licensure as a foster parent, and
recommended that the Department deny petitioner's application to renew her
foster care license. The Recommended Order concludes as to Case No. 06-
0537 that petitioner did not establish her fitness as a potential adoptive parent
such that her application to adopt a foster child previously placed in her home
should be granted. No exceptions to the Recommended Order have been filed.
The Recommended Order is approved and adopted.
Accordingly, petitioner's application for a foster care license under section
409.175, Florida Statutes, and petitioner's application to adopt under chapters 39
and 63, Florida Statutes, are hereby DENIED,
DONE AND ORDERED ait Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, this 13
