Superior Court of Pennsylvania August 12, 1983, No. 2913 (In re Adoption of M.T.M.)

HOFFMAN, Judge:

Appellant contends that the lower court erred in involuntarily terminating his parental rights. Because the lower court applied a preponderance of the evidence standard of proof, we reverse and remand for reconsideration under the higher burden of proof required by Santosky v. Kramer, 455 U.S. 745, 102 S.Ct. 1388, 71 L.Ed.2d 599 (1982).

Appellant and appellee, E.S.
