Indiana Court of Appeals
Adoption
of A.M.; M.M. v. M.M. & A.C.

53A05-1002-AD-71
Adoption. Reverses denial of grandfather M.M.’s uncontested petition to adopt his biological granddaughter A.M. Based
upon the reasoning in K.S.P., the idea that the best interests of the child is the primary concern in an adoption
proceeding, the purposes of the adoption statutes as stated by the legislature, and the trial court’s initial determination
that adoption was in the best interests of A.M., preventing the adoption in this specific case on the basis of Ind. Code Section
31-19-15-1 and Ind. Code Section 31-19-15-2 would cause an absurd result not intended by the legislature. Remands for further
proceedings. Judge Najam dissents.
