Kidnapper melodramatically drops to the ground and weeps<\/i>
\nThat’s what the headlines should have read in the case of Evan Scott<\/a>, a little boy who was adopted – against his natural father’s wishes – and has finally been returned home.<\/p>


\nYoung Evan was 2 months old when his father sued for custody.
\nRather than relinquish their “property”, the baby thieves, er, adoptive parents, engaged in a prolonged, 3 1\/2 year court fight, “to prevent either (natural parent) from winning<\/i> the child from them.”
\nWinning, indeed.
\nNow, hypocritically, they wail to a sympathetic press that Evan has been taken away “from the only home he has ever known”.
\nWell, good for Evan’s parents, including his new stepdad, for persisting in their long struggle to be reunited with their son.
\nAnd good for attorney Garrett Barket, who represented Evan’s father, Stephen White.
\nAnd shame on the Associated Press for including a link to the loathesome “Hear My Voice”, an organization dedicated to preserving the multi-billion dollar adoption industry, which plans to finance the adoptive couple’s appeal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
