The Case of Baby Justin

I don't know if this case should be called the case of "Baby Justin" anymore...since Baby Justin is now six years old. But regardless, the Kentucky Supreme Court is sending this case back to the trial level to determine who should get custody of Justin. This time, however, they are being instructed to use the "best interest of the child" standard.

If you're unfamiliar, this case concerns the birth parents, Regina Moore and Jerry Dorning, and the adoptive parents, the Asentes. You can check out a complete timeline here at The Cincinnati Post online.

I'm not into gawking at other people's problems, but I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall at the upcoming hearing. I'm sure it's going to be legally very interesting.
