In the Matter of Ashley V. Nassau County Department of Social Services, Respondent; Ana C., Appellant. (Proceeding No. 1.) In the Matter of Carlos V., Jr. Nassau County Department of Social Services, Respondent; Ana C., Appellant. (Proceeding No. 2.)

[*1] Neal D. Futerfas, White Plains, N.Y., for appellant.

John Ciampoli, County Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Robert F. Van der Waag of counsel), for respondent.

Catherine A. Sheridan, Carle Place, N.Y., attorney for the children.

In two related proceedings pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b, the mother appeals from an order of fact-finding and disposition of the Family Court, Nassau County (Kent, J.), dated June 30, 2010, which, after a fact-finding hearing, found that she severely abused the subject children, in effect, terminated her parental rights, and transferred custody and guardianship of the children to the petitioner for the purpose of adoption.

Ordered that the order of fact-finding and disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The mother's sole contention on this appeal, that she was entitled to a hearing to determine her entitlement to post-termination visitation rights, is not the subject of the order appealed from, and she did not request such relief before the Family Court. Thus, the mother's contention is not properly before this Court (see Matter of Tylik Shaquwn B. [Chris E.B.], 77 AD3d 826 [2010]). Dickerson, J.P., Hall, Cohen and Miller, JJ., concur.
