In Re: The Adoption of Jeffrey T., et al.

Case Number
E2010-01321-COA-R3-PT

In April of 2008, Lowell Shelton and Stella Shelton (“the Sheltons”) filed a petition to terminate the parental rights of Jeffrey T. (“Father”) and Lisa T. (“Mother”) to the minor children, Jeffrey T. and Justin T. (“the Children”), and to adopt the Children. After a trial, the trial court entered an order on May 7, 2010, that, inter alia, terminated the parental rights of Father to the Children, and granted the adoption of the Children by the Sheltons. Father appeals to this Court raising issues regarding res judicata, whether the trial court erred in not requiring a home study, and whether the final order of adoption conformed to the statute, among others. We affirm.
