The trial court’s decision to deny the plaintiffs’ adoption petitions must be vacated and the case remanded because the trial court made several errors during discovery.

The trial court correctly determined that a nonsurrendering parent who establishes a 99.99% probability of paternity and obtains summary disposition on the issue of paternity is a legal parent under the Safe Delivery of Newborns Law (SDNL).

The trial court in this adoption case improperly denied the petitioners’ motion for discovery and wrongly quashed subpoenas that were issued to the DHHS and Bethany Christian Services.
