In Matter of Michael JJ (200 AD2d 80 [3d Dept 1984]), the court approved certification although the prospective adoptive father's history of alcohol abuse was a serious concern. The court relied on testimony that the prospective adoptive father had been alcohol-free for approximately eight years and found the prospective adoptive father's problem with alcohol defined "his past rather than his present or future life" (Matter of Michael JJ, 200 AD2d 80 [3d Dept 1994]).
