Head Matter:
Ronald W. DOWGUL, Appellant, v. Harold Kelly ADAIR, Appellee.
No. HH-213.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
April 28, 1978.
Carroll L. McCauley, Panama City, for appellant.
Clinton E. Foster, Panama City, for ap-pellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This appeal is from a trial court's order dismissing appellant's petition for adoption at the conclusion of appellant's case. We have reviewed the record and concluded that the appellant did present a prima facie case of abandonment by the natural father. It was error to dismiss the petition; therefore the cause is remanded for further proceedings.
McCORD, C. J., and SMITH and MELVIN, JJ., concur.
