ORDER

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 17th day of January, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:
Whether the Superior Court erred in affirming the decision of the trial court that a former same-sex partner lacked standing both 1) as a parent and 2) as a party who stood in loco parentis to seek custody of the child born during her relationship with the birth mother where the child was conceived via assisted reproduction with an anonymous sperm donor and the parties lived together as a family unit for the first five years of the child's life?
