Baby Bryan was born in January, 2008 and was placed for adoption three days later to a loving California couple who had tried unsuccessfully for years to have a child of their own. Several months later, the birth parents changed their minds and began contesting the adoption. The legal costs have become quite substantial for the adopting parents. The purpose of this site is to not only help raise funds for this couple, but also to raise awareness as to the potential complications of open and contested adoptions. If this adoption is overturned, it will open the floodgates for other birth parents who have given up their children to adoption and have changed their minds months, even years later, to take a chance at overturning their adoptions. The result will be devastating in terms of how much this will cost the state of California and its taxpayers as well as the emotional and psychological effects this will have on adopting parents who have cared for, loved and emotionally bonded with their adopted children, not to mention the children themselves.
UPDATE: On August 20, 2009, the judge ruled in favor of Bob and Lisa. However, the birth parents have filed for appeal. Bob and Lisa wish to thank everyone for their love and support during this ordeal. We will continue to accept donations and host fundraising events to help with outstanding litigation costs.
