WIEAND, Judge,
concurring:
I agree with the majority that the custody order of the trial court should be affirmed. For reasons set forth in my Dissenting Opinion in In re Donna W., 325 Pa.Super. 39, 472 A.2d 635 (1984), I disagree that this Court should make an independent determination in this custody case. The correbt standard of review in child custody cases, as stated by the Supreme Court in Commonwealth ex rel. Robinson v. Robinson, 505 Pa. 226, 478 A.2d 800 (1984) and Commonwealth ex rel. Spriggs v. Carson, 470 Pa. 290, 368 A.2d 635 (1977), is abuse of discretion. It is because I find no abuse of discretion on the part of the learned trial judge that I concur in the majority’s decision to affirm.
