No appearance for Appellee Adoption Cen-tre, Inc.

Opinion:
GOSHORN, Judge.
We reverse the final judgment of adoption because the grandparents, who are parties to one of the consolidated cases below, were not given notice of the final hearing and were thus denied an opportunity to be heard. See § 63.122(2), Fla. Stat. (1995); Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.080; see also § 63.0425, Fla. Stat. (1993); In re Adoption of a Minor Child, 593 So.2d 185 (Fla.1991).
REVERSED and REMANDED.
COBB, J., concurs.
GRIFFIN, J., dissents with opinion.
