Adoption Dispute Leaves Child In Limbo
Anna Quindlen comments on a contentious Iowa adoption case where Baby Girl Clausen, known as BGC, is torn between biological father Daniel Schmidt and the DeBoers of Ann Arbor Michigan. The Iowa Supreme Court ordered the child to Schmidt pending appeals, citing biology over the best interests, while the girl's adoptive parents seek a Michigan judge to reexamine the case and preserve the only stable home she has known.
