This appeal involves a petition to terminate a father’s parental rights that was filed by the child’s great aunt, great uncle, and another couple who would like to adopt the child. The juvenile court dismissed the petition upon finding that the father did not willfully abandon the child. The court
found that the great aunt and uncle had interfered with the father’s attempts to visit the child. The petitioners appeal. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
