    IN the INTEREST OF: J.B. Petition of: J.F., Natural Father
    No. 198 WAL 2016
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    October 20, 2016
   ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 20th day of October, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all remaining issues. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:

Whether the trial court erred in finding that the termination of the biological father’s parental rights by the biological mother would best serve the needs and welfare of the minor child, where the proposed adoption by the maternal step-grandfather would not create a new, genuine parent-child relationship and/or establish a new family unit[?]

The Order of the Superior Court is REVERSED. See In re Adoption of M.R.D., 686 Pa. 609, 145 A.3d 1117, 2016 WL 4541129 (2016).
