[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adoption is a great option for kids who need a home.  Adoption is not a fine option for infertile people to obtain a baby at any cost...especially one who has a family already that is cpable and willing to raise them.

Exactly, adoption is a wonderful solution to tragic circumstances, but when it causes the tragic situations, such as in this case where the adoption lead to a child being taken from a biological parent who was willing and able to parent, it stops being a wonderful thing.

Kind of how it's wonderful when a widow or widower finds a new spouse, but killing someone's spouse so you can marry them is not cool.[/quote]

You are 100% wrong when you assert that "the adoption lead to a child being taken from a biological parent who was will and able to parent."  He initially refused to parent in any way, shape or form, and also initially gave up his rights.  He changed his mind.  Stop pretending that it was always his intention to be involved.  [/quote]

You are ignoring the inconvenient truth that it is in the best interests of a child to be with his or her family of origin.  I know that people simply don't want to believe that-- love is all you need, right?  Sorry, the research does not agree with you.

As has been pointed out, if a child has parents who are unwilling or unable to parent, then adoption can be a wonderful option for the CHILD.  Everyone seems to think this is such an injustice for the Capobiancos, and all the media coverage seems to surround how terrible this all is for THEM.   Excuse me, but what is in the best interest of this little girl?  It is to remain with her family of origin.  Regardless of whether the father "changed his mind".   The fact is that he contacted an attorney 5 days after signing the papers, realizing that he made a mistake.  This is well within the time frame of "changing one's mind" in adoption in almost every state in the nation, except.. you guessed it... South Carolina, where fathers have almost no rights.

[b]The South Carolina court shouldn't even have jurisdiction.  The child was born in Oklahoma.  [/b]

If folks are not outraged by how absolutely fucked up the adoption laws are in this country, then you are not paying attention.[/quote]

I think the bolded nails it.  Right now we've got 50 states plus DC with 51 different laws.  A mother or prospective adoptive parent can shop around until they find the laws that give them the most advantage.  This adoption would never have been legal in Oklahoma.

South Carolina law needs to be fixed, but so does the system that allows people to "shop" for the laws that give them the most advantage.[/quote]
