Contested Adoption

Stories like this one make me sick to my stomach. I don't know the details, but I know that the story is never told from the point of view of the adoptive parents. They are portrayed as kidnappers when in reality they were probably never told about the birth father until after they had bonded with the little girl. I also think it's wrong to blame the state of Utah since Virginia has very specific laws about birth father rights and their responsibility to sign up with a birth father registry. There are always two sides to the story and unfortunately the birth father has decided to take his to the press.

See this for an alternative point of view from a birthmother.
