High Court of American Samoa June 14, 1995, JR No. 13-95 and JR No. 14-95 (In re Two Minor Children)

Opinion and Order:

This matter came regularly for hearing on April 28, 1995, on the natural parents' petition to relinquish their parental rights to two of their five children and enable the maternal grandparents to adopt these two children.

Relinquishment of parental rights must be based on the best interests of all concerned, A.S.C.A. § 45.0402(e), but the child's best interests are paramount.
