Edwards, J.
(concurring). I concur with Mr. Justice Yoelker’s result and indeed with his opinion in its entirety except for the 3 paragraphs which precede the last sentence.
We are reversing this case because we feel a full hearing is warranted. I do not think we should shape the decision therein. The chancellor will have to weigh 8-1/2 years of maternal abandonment without any effort to recover custody and 11 years of the child’s life lived with defendants in what may appear to be satisfactory adjustment, against those portions *134of the record which Mr. Justice Voelker has cited. His will not be a simple task.
Dethmbrs, C. J., and Kelly and Smith, JJ., concurred with Edwards, J.
