Description
MOORE, Justice. This difficult case concerns the adoption of two young boys. Their foster parents seek to adopt them, with the consent of the boys' biological parents. However, the boys' maternal grandparents oppose the foster parents' adoption petition; they, too, have filed an adoption petition, without the consent of the boys' biological parents. The superior court consolidated all actions concerning the boys, then excluded the grandparents from participating as parties in the hearing on the foster parents' petition. Ultimately, the superior court granted the foster parents' petition but also granted post-adoption visitation rights to the grandparents, contrary to the adoption statute. The court ruled the statute as applied to be unconstitutional as a denial of equal protection.
