YEGAN, J., Concurring and Dissenting.
— I concur with the majority in all respects of the opinion with the exception of part VI. I do not join in the majority’s opinion suggesting that, if certain conditions are satisfied, appellant should perhaps be allowed reasonable visitation to establish a “relationship” with the minor. Notwithstanding the biological connection, in legal contemplation, appellant is a stranger to the minor. He has no legal right to visitation or a “relationship” with the minor.
On March 5, 1998, the opinion was modified to read as printed above. Appellant’s petition for review by the Supreme Court was denied April 22, 1998. Mosk, J., and Chin, J., were of the opinion that the petition should be granted.
