I believe that Ex parte State ex rel. A.T. v. E.W.,695 So.2d 624 (Ala. 1996), squarely applies to this case. Although I do not necessarily agree with the reasoning advanced by our Supreme Court in A.T., I believe that it must be followed by this court, and that in doing so, this court has no choice but to reverse the judgment below. Therefore, I must respectfully dissent.
