In re Adoption of Baby Boy Y.

LAVELLE, P.J.,

We are called upon in this unusual proceeding to decide the difficult and complex question of whether a Georgia mother who gave up her child for adoption in Georgia and executed legal documents which would have terminated her parental rights in Georgia should now be permitted to object to the adoption of her child here in Pennsylvania. In order to do that we must determine the nature of the various legal documents before us and decide whether we should apply Georgia or Pennsylvania law in interpreting these documents and passing upon their legal validity.

Not only is this a case…
