The opinion of the court was delivered by
KLEINER, J.A.D.
Baby D was born on January 31, 1994. His natural mother Joan Todd1 surrendered him for adoption to an approved agency, Catholic Charities Diocese of Metuchen (“Catholic Charities”) on February 10, 1994. See N.J.S.A 9:3-38a (defining “approved agency”). Thereafter, Baby D was placed in the home of plaintiffs, Peter Robinson and Vivian Robinson, on February 23, 1994, where he has continuously resided.
