The court was asked whether or not the judge in the present case was justified in ruling out the child’s paternal grandmother as a realistic option for the child’s long-term care, it being common ground that if she were not ruled out the option of placement with her would go forward for a full welfare evaluation up against the only other realistic option which is adoption.
