Heading: the trial court erred in permitting appellees to breach their foster care contract.

Text: This question appears to have been abandoned by appellants in the lower court. It was not pleaded as a bar to the petition, but was developed on cross-examination of the appellees, that they had executed a contract with the Welfare Department in the usual form which contains a provision to the effect that appellees would not seek adoption without the written consent of the Welfare Department. The question was decided by this Court adversely to appellants in the case of In Re: Adoption of a Minor Child J.C. and N.C. v. Natural Parents, 417 So.2d 529 (Miss. 1982). The judgment of the lower court is affirmed. AFFIRMED. PATTERSON, C.J., WALKER, P.J., and HAWKINS, DAN M. LEE, PRATHER, ROBERTSON, SULLIVAN and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.
