What are your thoughts about the custody battle?

I think it is justice for the boy to be returned to his birth father.  This man has been suffering since his wife took his son to another country, essentially denying him access to his child.

It is nice that his step father "cared" for and about him, but the boy does belong with his biologican father.

I applaud the Brazilian court that recognized his rights.

The boy should have been immediately returned to his Father, especially since she took the boy without the Father's consent. One of the many reasons why you should think ore then twice about something as serious as marriage....especially with one who is not from your country!  

Sean should have been immediately returned to his Father the minute she passed away.  She took the boy back to Brazil without his Father's consent, one of the many reasons why one should not take something as serious as marriage lightly, especially if you are going to enter a marriage with a foreigner!!

I think it is a travesty of justice that the Brazilian has been able to keep the boy when his natural father has tried so hard to see him and take him home where he belongs.  How is this allowed to go on for so long?  It makes me sick.

I have not Read up on this but The child might be better off here where we are suppose to sll be free . I did say Free But Are we.???? Church wise We are Not .I am 72, my Dad was 56 when I was born and his mom and Dad lived in the time before us. I dont belive that they would think we are free Bettied68

About time. This boy should of been handed over asap after the mother died. The stepfather had no legal rights to the boy and illegally changed the real fathers name to his own in an attempt to keep him. i am glad this is finally over. Congratulations David, your uears of devotion to your son has finally paid off. God Bless you both.

It must have been so heartwrenching for the father to be without his son all this time.  I could not imagine being in this situation and having the strength to fight for this long.  It broke my heart when I first read about it, but I am so glad to hear he is going to be returned to his father. Hopefully everything goes through as planned Wednesday & I congratulate him for his efforts seem to have paid off.

How awful to have your child taken away like that.  Adults really do such awful things in the name of "the good of the child".  However, this child knows nothing of his father, true due to the mother, who is now deceased.  The boy just lost his mom.  Now he's going to be shipped off to a foreign place with people he doesn't know?  That is equally as disturbing as what his mom did....
