Head Matter:
DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellant, v. Ron DIXON, Attorney Ad Litem, and Guardian Ad Litem Program, Appellees.
No. 4D06-2150.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Sept. 29, 2006.
Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Jeffrey Bassett, Assistant Attorney General, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.
Patricia M. Propheter, Orlando, for ap-pellees.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Considering appellee's concession of error, we reverse the trial court's order of dependency. The trial court was without jurisdiction to conduct an adjudicatory hearing because the children turned 18 before the date of the hearing. Also, the court erred in back-dating its order of adjudication to a hearing date where no evidence was taken to substantiate an adjudication of dependency.
POLEN, SHAHOOD and GROSS, JJ., concur.
