Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA MIDDLE DISTRICT

IN RE: ADOPTION OF: C.M., A MINOR : No. 640 MAL 2020 : : PETITION OF: B.M., MOTHER AND D.M. : Petition for Allowance of Appeal AND P.M., MATERNAL GRANDPARENTS : from the Order of the Superior Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 7th day of January, 2021, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issues, rephrased for clarity, are:

(1) Whether the Superior Court, in reversing an order granting the involuntary termination of parental rights where the petitioners did not seek a good cause exception pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S. §2901, erred by misapprehending and improperly applying the essential holding in the Supreme Court case of In Re: Adoption of M.R.D., 145 A.3d 1117 (Pa. 2016).

(2) Whether the Superior Court improperly disturbed the factual and credibility findings of the trial court in a termination of parental rights proceeding to conclude the proposed adoption was unlawful “custody gamesmanship.”
