1Opinion of the Court
BASKIN, Judge.
The question we address in this appeal is whether a motion alleging fraudulent concealment of the child’s psychiatric problems by the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services [HRS] as grounds for annulment of an adoption may be filed more than one year after entry of a final judgment of adoption. Appellants seek to overturn the trial court’s ruling that section 63.182, Florida Statutes (1987), and Calderon v. Torres, 445 So.2d 1040 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), bar their action. We hold that the motion to annul the adoption is not barred. We reverse.
