Ronald W. DOWGUL, Appellant, v. Harold Kelly ADAIR, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

April 28, 1978.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carroll L. McCauley, Panama City, for appellant.

Clinton E. Foster, Panama City, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

This appeal is from a trial court's order dismissing appellant's petition for adoption at the conclusion of appellant's case. We have reviewed the record and concluded that the appellant did present a prima facie case of abandonment by the natural father. It was error to dismiss the petition; therefore the cause is remanded for further proceedings.
