In Reference to ADOPTION OF BABY BOY McKNIGHT, a Minor. Appeal of Harriet I. OWENS.

Filed February 1, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Albert Momjian, Philadelphia, for appellant.

Susan D. Scott, Doylestown, for appellee.

Before SPAETH, President Judge, and BROSKY and CIRILLO, JJ.


BROSKY, Judge:

This appeal follows the denial of a Petition for Adoption filed by appellant and her former husband. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.

Appellant, Harriet I. Owens and her then husband, John F. Owens, received the child Jonathan, whose adoption is at issue, on February 12, 1980. The couple had been interested in adopting a child for several years and obtained Jonathan a few days after his birth with the help of an intermediary.
