McCann v. Doe

Supreme Court of South Carolina

1Opinion of the Court

Justice BEATTY:

In this adoption case, the prospective adoptive parents, John and Jane Doe, appeal the family court’s orders: (1) revoking Laura McCann’s (the biological mother’s) consent for adoption because it was involuntarily entered; and (2) finding the revocation of the consent would be in the best interest of the child and placing the child back with McCann. We note both the Does and McCann love and take excellent care of the child. However, our review of the evidence supports the family court’s decision to revoke McCann’s consent to adopt and to return the child to McCann.
