ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 16th day of March, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:
(1) Whether the trial court erred in determining that [Petitioner] showed good
cause under [S]ection 2901 of the Adoption Act to proceed with the
anticipated adoption of the children[,] . . . contrary to the evidence and
contrary to controlling precedent and law. Specifically,
(2) Whether the trial court erred in terminating the parental rights of the
[Petitioner] when the proposed adoption by maternal grandfather would
not create a new, genuine, parent-child relationship and foster the creation
of a new family unit.
(3) Whether the trial court erred in determining that the anticipated adoption of
the children by maternal grandfather would be in the children’s best
interests.
Justice Donohue did not participate in the consideration or decision of this
matter.
