Grandparents lose visitation when adoption begins
An Iowa Court of Appeals panel ruled 4 to 2 that grandparent visitation ends once a child is adopted. The decision says adoption finality serves the child Kay by keeping her in the stable adoptive home, while dissenters argue it cuts off a beneficial link to biological relatives. The ruling invites legislative change if the policy is to be altered.
