Biological parents win custody of Baby Richard in Chicago
After a four year custody battle Otakar Kirchner and his wife collected the boy known as Baby Richard from the suburban home of his adoptive parents. Kirchner had sought custody since January when the Illinois Supreme Court granted it and said a gradual transfer would ease the child’s transition. The adoptive parents Jane and John Doe fought the bid, while Kirchner said the immediate take was necessary despite the Does’ willingness to adjust custody gradually. The mother who gave up the child and Kirchner, now married, had believed the boy was dead at birth.
