RULON, C.J.
Petitioner, the maternal grandmother of S.A.M., a minor child, appeals the district court's dismissal of her adoption petition, contending the court erroneously found the natural father's acquittal of rape in a juvenile offender proceeding foreclosed the petitioner's attempt to terminate the natural father's parental rights for the commission of rape in the adoption proceeding. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
