Before WALLER, C.J., DICKINSON, P.J., and KITCHENS, J.

KITCHENS, Justice, for the Court:

¶ 1. We granted interlocutory appeal in this case to decide the question of whether the appellee is entitled to assert the presumption that favors the natural parent in child custody proceedings. Because the voluntary surrender of rights in connection with an uncontested, final adoption is irrevocable, we reverse the judgment and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this decision.
