    Rehearing Denied Nov. 24, 1993.
    Paul M. Herman, Palm Beach Gardens, for appellant.

   PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED.

GLICKSTEIN, J., and BIRKEN, ARTHUR M., Associate Judge, concur.

ANSTEAD, J., dissents with opinion.

ANSTEAD, Judge,

dissenting.

I would reverse the summary final judgment and remand for a trial on the merits so that the trial court could fully assess the facts to determine if there is an equitable basis for concluding that the appellant is the father of appellee-mother’s deceased child by the doctrine of equitable adoption, or if she is estopped to deny that he is the father.
