*28OPINION
OGG, Judge.
The determinative issue in this appeal is whether the Juvenile Court of Maricopa County had jurisdiction to determine an adoption petition for two minor children who were earlier adjudicated to be dependent minor children and made wards of the Yavapai County Juvenile Court. The Mari-copa County Juvenile Court Judge who was assigned the adoption case ordered that the adoption petition be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. For the reasons expressed in this opinion, we affirm such decision.
A brief review of the tragic background of this case is necessary for an understanding…
