In re Adoption of L.B.J., PICS Case No. 11-0801 (Pa. April 329, 2011) Baer, J.; Saylor, J., concurring; Todd, J., concurring and dissenting; Eakin, J., dissenting; Orie Melvin, J., dissenting (55 pages).
The Clinton County Court of Common Pleas erred in terminating the parental rights of a biological mother to her child and in finding that no bond existed between mother and child. The court vacated the order of the Superior Court and remanded for an immediate evidentiary hearing to determine if the action was moot based on evidence placed on the record while this appeal was pending before the Superior Court. Further, the court ordered that any future proceedings be conducted by a judge from a different judicial district.
