Opinion

HOUSTON, Justice.

Although we are denying this writ, we must emphasize that, as in all adoption proceedings, the primary consideration of the State Department of Human Resources in withholding its consent for adoption must be what is in “the best interest of the child.”

WRIT DENIED.

HORNSBY, C.J., and JONES, SHORES and KENNEDY, JJ., concur.
