328 So. 2d 879 (1976)

Bonita F. ROBERTS, Appellant,
v.
Harold Jerome DAVIS and Wife, Frances B. Davis, Appellees.

No. 75-993.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

March 24, 1976.

*880 John W. Burton, Wauchula, for appellant.

W. Daniel Kearney of Kearney, Matthews & Mulock, Bradenton, for appellees.

PER CURIAM.

Bonita Roberts, the natural mother of Troy and Deanna Davis, minors, appeals from the award of visitation privileges given appellees-paternal grandparents in a final judgment which otherwise denied a petition to adopt said minors brought by the grandparents. The grandparents cross-appeal the denial of the adoption.

We reject the cross-appeal and affirm the denial of the petition; but we are compelled to reverse the judgment insofar as it seeks to confer visitation rights on the grandparents. That portion of the order is unjustified and unenforceable.[1]

Accordingly, the cause is remanded for deletion of the visitation privileges awarded appellees. In all other respects the judgment should be, and it is hereby, affirmed.

Reversed in part; affirmed in part.

McNULTY, C.J., and GRIMES and SCHEB, JJ., concur.
