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. [/quote]

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]

You have failed to address any of the deceptions (which are pretty well known to this case and easily searchable). That tells me you're pretty biased.

I'd wager that MOST adopted children are curious about the biological parents and often have questions about why they were given up. I can't imagine how this child will feel to know that this happened and that her opportunity to be raised by her biological father was essentially stolen from her.

The pain of that separation (and her possible hatred) will likely hurt FAR more than if the adopted family had let this go now. [/quote]

Are you going to continue evading the question about if you'd support the mother, if she wanted custody today? Your refusal to repeatedly, honestly answer this question is evidence that you are thinking with your bias, and not with consistency.

The real unfortunate thing about you, is that you appear to be rooting for Veronica to hate her parents and get hurt by her parents. You seem to be hoping that's the case, instead of really hoping for the best for her, regardless of who has custody. That's really shameful and telling. [/quote]

I must have missed where you asked me this question. Yes, I'd support the mother (if the same set of circumstances applied).

[b]And yes, I do hope that Veronica ends up shunning her adoptive parents for the heartless, entitled pricks that they are.[/b] [/quote]

That's really sickening. It tells me everything that I need to know about how people like you don't give a shit about Veronica's best interests. Their vested interest is simply to hate. Nothing more, nothing less. [/quote]

Not the PP you are quoting, but how is being raised by an adoptive family in "Veronica's best interests"?  Because they are white and wealthy?[/quote]

No, but hoping she doesn't grow up hating, shunning her parents is in Veronica's best interest. Hoping that Veronica grows up happy and with love is in her best interest. PP admitted that they'd rather see Veronica grow up with hate than happiness. That's royally fucked up. That's royally not hoping for Veronica to grow up having her best interests at heart. [/quote]

WRONG. I said that when she comes of age and realizes what her adoptive parents did, I hope she shuns her. That has little to do with how she will feel about them growing up. Stop being so dramatic. [/quote]

Please go re-read your own words. That is not what you said previously.

But to address your wavering comment, hoping for the best interest of anyone, of any human being, doesn't go out the window on your 18th birthday. Hoping and wishing for any person to shun anyone, is pretty damn demented. [/quote]
