In re Adoption of SSO
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Court affirmed the order of the district court striking RB’s appearance in the underlying adoption action and granting the foster parents’ petition for adoption of SSO, the biological son of RB. The adoption court determined that RB’s parental rights had previously been terminated, and therefore, RB had no standing to enter an appearance in the adoption case or to challenge the adoption. RB appealed the order granting the foster parents’ motion to strike his entry of appearance and objection to SSO’s adoption, and of the adoption order. The Supreme Court held (1) the district court properly struck RB’s appearance in the adoption action; and (2) because RB’s parental rights have been terminated, RB had no standing to object to or otherwise participate in the adoption.
