OPINION
FELDMAN, Chief Justice.
This case presents fundamental issues concerning grounds for severance of parental rights. The case comes to us on a petition for review filed by a guardian ad litem, on behalf of a young child. The guardian argues that the trial judge erred in refusing to terminate the parental rights of the child’s biological father. The guardian claims this unwed father abandoned the child and that his parental rights should therefore have been severed so that the child could be adopted. Because the issues have immediate, statewide importance, we granted review.
