Thalia E. Meltz, Potomac, MD, filed a statement in lieu of brief for appellee B.M.

Before RUIZ, Associate Judge, and TERRY and FARRELL, Senior Judges.

TERRY, Senior Judge:

In this case concerning the adoption of infant twins, a boy (D.W.) and a girl (I.W.), the birth mother appeals from the trial court's decision to grant the adoption petition of T.J.L. and B.J.L. The mother argues that the trial court was without jurisdiction to waive her consent to the adoption and that it erred in granting one of the two competing petitions for adoption, rather than the other. We affirm the trial court's order.
