Iowa Supreme Court Returns Baby to Birth Father in Adoption Case
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled to return the child to her birth father, upholding state adoption statutes over the desires of the child’s adoptive parents. Justice Larson said adoptions hinge on law, not emotion, and noted the birth father acted to secure his parental rights. The ruling sends parts of the case back to Juvenile Court to decide cooling off waivers and related motions.
