Court rules mother may reclaim child in adoption case
New York Court of Appeals unanimously ordered the return of Lenore to her natural mother Olga Scarpetta after she surrendered the infant for adoption to Mr and Mrs Nick DeMartino. The ruling said the surrender was improvident and the child's best interests require restoration to the mother. The DeMartinos planned to appeal to federal courts and possibly the Supreme Court.
