[quote=Anonymous]The point that gets short shrift is that the bio mom chose the adoptive family because they were willing to do an open adoption.  I used to think the bio-dad was completely in the right until I focused on that point.

At the point the father contested the adoption, then the discussion should have recognized that it wasn't just the bio-dad vs. adoptive parents, but bio-dad vs. adoptive parents and still involved bio-mom.

To award the father sole custody cuts the bio-mom out of the child's life---a result which was never intended by the adoption as it was structured.

It seems like none of the adults have clearly thought through the long-term mental health impacts on the child.  Wouldn't it be best for the child to grow up knowing that both of her biological parents loved her enough to try to get her the best home each thought possible.  The only way to do that is for all the parties to work together for the best interests of the child with open visitation all round, regardless of who is ultimately the custodial parent(s).  I would hope that if the adoptive parents ultimately prevail, they and the bio-mom will not be as vengeful as the biological dad has apparently been in terms of not permitting access.  A child is not a zero-sum game.[/quote]
