In this case, we are asked to declare unconstitutional those sections of the Michigan Adoption Code, MCL 710.54; MSA 27.3178(555.54) and MCL 710.69; MSA 27.3178(555.69), which prohibit the exchange of money or other consideration in connection with adoption and related proceedings. 1 The plaintiffs appeal of right from a January 29, 1980, order of the lower court, denying their motion for summary judgment under GCR 1963, 117.2(3) and granting the defendants’ own motion under the same rule. The parties are in agreement as to the pertinent facts in this decision.
