Lee v. Stringer

Pope, Chief Judge.

Appellant Melanie Webb Lee executed a surrender of parental rights with respect to her daughter born May 13, 1991 in favor of appellees, Gary and Faye Stringer. After expiration of the statutory ten-day period, the Stringers filed a petition for adoption of the child. Lee filed an objection to and motion to dismiss the adoption petition. The trial court, after conducting an evidentiary hearing, granted the Stringers’ petition for adoption, and Lee filed this direct appeal to this court. See, e.g., Moore v. Butler, 192 Ga. App. 882, 883 (1) (386 SE2d 678) (1989).
