Neff, P.J.
(concurring in part and dissenting in part). I agree with the result reached by the majority, but do not believe that, on the facts of this case, we are required to or should resolve the conflict between the Adrianson/Dupras (In re Dupras, 140 Mich App 171; 363 NW2d 26 [1984]; In re Adrianson, 105 Mich App 300; 306 NW2d 487 [1981]) and Ferris (In re Ferris, 151 Mich App 736; *209391 NW2d 468 [1986]) lines of reasoning on the issue whether errors during the adjudicative stage of a probate court proceeding to terminate parental rights may be collaterally attacked. Moreover, if I were compelled to address the issue, I would adopt the Ferris line of reasoning and reach the opposite result.
