(2) orders suppressing confessions, admissions, or evidence obtained by search and/or seizure before the adjudicatory hearing;

There are also several types of orders that are immediately appealable in juvenile dependency cases or in cases involving the termination of parental rights. In juvenile dependency, termination of parental rights, and cases involving children and families in need of services, only certain persons may appeal to the appropriate court within the time and in the manner that the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure prescribe. Those persons are limited to: any child, any parent, guardian ad litem, or legal custodian of any child, any other party to the proceeding affected by an order of the lower tribunal, or the appropriate state agency as provided by law.
The procedures in non-final juvenile dependency and termination of parental rights cases also differ from those in non-final civil appeals. The notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of rendition of the order to be reviewed. See Sections 39.510 and 39.815, Florida Statutes, and Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.146. All references to the child or the parents are to be by initials, not by name, and all papers are treated confidentially. The courts are to give priority to appeals in these cases. A termination of parental rights order with placement of the child for later adoption is suspended while the appeal is pending, although the child continues in custody. See also Chapter 14, Appeals of Orders Rendered in Dependency and Termination of Parental Rights Proceedings.
