Publisher Description
This appeal lies from an Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, permitting the adoption of L.J., a dependent
child in the custody of the Department of Human Services. Appellant, John Doe, Sr., is the natural father of L.J.'s half-sibling,
John Doe, Jr. The main issue presented to this Court is one of first impression: does a half-sibling have standing to appeal
an order changing a dependent child's family service goal to adoption? Because we conclude that he does not, we affirm.
