He abdicated his parental rights to make any decisions at all, whatsoever. He signed off. [b]Deployment is irrelevant[/b]. Signing away parental rights is not conditional - he signed off totally and completely. [/quote]

Well you (or a different pp) has said this before.  But, it's really not.  Being in the military really does change a lot of things.  Being deployed really does change A LOT of things.  And, if the adoption had taken place in OK, he still would have had 30 days to change his mind.  That doesn't seem to fall neatly into your calculus.[/quote]

I have never known anyone in the military to abdicate parental rights before deployment. In fact, you want to do the opposite, to make sure you have a plan in place, in case of worst case scenario. The excuses made for Mr. Brown are simply ridiculous. Nobody is responsible for his decisions or regret but himself. To blame anyone else is just further refusing any personal responsibility.

Question for you: Do you honestly believe that legal standing trumps morality?[/quote]

No, I believe in looking at things at a case by case perspective. In this case, I believe that the right decision was made legally, and morally. If Dusten Brown actually owned up to his decisions instead of making constant excuses and deflecting his own responsibility, I might think different. But to me, that doesn't reflect well on him in the specifics of this case. [/quote]

What are your thoughts on the deceptions of the birth mother and adoptive parents?

Even if he had shirked his responsibilities for 4 months, that is not a reasonable amount of time to forever condemn him. [/quote]

"Deceptions?" So if the biological mother wanted to resume custody, how would you feel? She is the girls mother after all, and biology, morality, yadda yadda yadda...

As I mentioned, I hope the Capobianco family will allow Veronica and Mr. Brown to have contact and spend some time together, but it seems like he's still denying culpability in his own decisions. I don't think that speaks well of him, and believe the right decision was made. [/quote]
