Before Briscoe, C.J., Brazil and LEWIS, JJ.

BRISCOE, C.J.:

The natural mother of Baby Girl B. and the prospective adoptive parents (adoptive petitioners) appeal the district court's decision to decline jurisdiction over the adoption after concluding Kansas is an inconvenient forum. Appellants contend the court erred in finding Pennsylvania was a more convenient forum. The natural father cross-appeals, contending the court erred in concluding Kansas has jurisdiction over the adoption.
