FITZSIMMONS, J.

Tobie Jude (Brown) Dantzler petitioned for the intrafamily adoption of her stepdaughter. The mother of the child opposed the adoption. Mr. Jerry Dantzler, the father of the child, had divorced the child's mother. He obtained sole custody during the mother's incarceration. The natural father married the petitioner, Mrs. Dantzler.
