Relating to appeals of orders or decrees of adoption

SB 794 clarifies that the Intermediate Court of Appeals cannot hear appeals of adoption orders or decrees. It specifically removes these cases from the court's jurisdiction, as stated in amended Section 51-11-4(d)(12). Adoption cases will now proceed directly to the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals for review. This change applies to all adoption orders entered under West Virginia Code §48-22-704. The bill modifies procedural appeal pathways without altering adoption laws themselves.
