In re Adoption of Monica HOOSE.

Supreme Court of North Carolina.

February 29, 1956.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

LeRoy & Goodwin, Elizabeth City, for intervenors.

J. W. Jennette, Elizabeth City, for petitioners.


DENNY, Justice.

It is necessary to consider two questions in order to dispose of this appeal: (1) Is the instrument denominated "Revocation and Withdrawal of Consent, and Motion to Dismiss Adoption Proceedings," sufficient to constitute a withdrawal of the consent of Major and Mrs. Hoose to the adoption of Monica Hoose by Lt. and Mrs. Holefelder? (2) Did Major and Mrs. Hoose abandon their adopted child, Monica Hoose, within the meaning of our adoption statutes?
