AFFIRMED. NO OPINION.

See Rule 53(a)(1) and (a)(2)(F), Ala.R.App. P.; § 26-17A-1, Ala.Code 1975; Rule 28, Ala.R.App.P.; Ex parte W.J., 622 So.2d 358 (Ala.1993); Moore v. Glover, 501 So.2d 1187 (Ala.1986); and Bullard v. Creative Leasing, Inc., 624 So.2d 199 (Ala.Civ.App.1993).

YATES and MONROE, 33., concur.

CRAWLEY, J., concurs in the result only.

THIGPEN, J., not sitting.

CRAWLEY, Judge,

concurring in the result only.

I believe that § 26-17A-1 is unconstitutional. See KM. v. G.H., 678 So.2d 1084, 1089-97 (Ala.Civ.App.l995)(Crawley, J., dissenting). A majority of this court, however, has decided otherwise, and our Supreme Court quashed the writ when presented with the opportunity to decide the constitutionality of the statute.
