In re the Adoption of S.G. 

Court terminated the parental rights of both parents of a four-year old child, whose paternal grandparents then filed petition for adoption. Five days later, foster parents filed, in a separate case, a petition for adoption, and court consolidated the two cases. When a natural parent's parental rights and interests are completely severed by the termination of parental rights, the rights and interests of the natural parent's relatives are also completely severed, and they thus have no rights to the minor, and court properly struck grandparents' response to foster parents' petition for adoption. Even after consolidation, cases continued to have separate identities in the trial court, thus notice of appeal as to ruling in one case must be made within 30 days of entry of judgment in that case, and Rule 304(a) finding was not required.
