PER CURIAM

ORDER

AND NOW, this 7th day of January, 2021, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, rephrased for clarity, are:

  1. Whether the Superior Court, in reversing an order granting the involuntary termination of parental rights where the petitioners did not seek a good cause exception pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S. §2901, erred by misapprehending and improperly applying the essential holding in the Supreme Court case of In Re: Adoption of M.R.D., 145 A.3d 1117 (Pa. 2016).
  2. Whether the Superior Court improperly disturbed the factual and credibility findings of the trial court in a termination of parental rights proceeding to conclude the proposed adoption was unlawful “custody gamesmanship.”
