In Re: The Adoption of P.J.W., J.D. and M.D. v. R.W.
24S-AD-117
Adoption. Reverses Montgomery Superior Court Judge Daniel Petrie’s order that adoption was not in P.J.W’s best interest because of J.D. and M.D.’s advanced ages and biological father R.W.’s purported rehabilitation. Finds that that the trial court based its best-interest determination on an erroneous legal conclusion that it is “inherently” in child’s best interest to be raised by a biological parent. Remands with instructions to consider the grandparents’ advanced ages in light of ability under Indiana Code subsection 31-19-11-1(a)(2) and to conduct a new best-interest determination using the proper legal standard. Attorneys for appellants: Robert Reimondo, Denise Hayden. Attorneys for appellee: Jon Laramore, Megan Stuart.
