OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld a decision to return a baby to its biological parents, who had given up the child in 2013 to friends who could not have children of their own.
The couples had been friends. The biological couple, listed only as Teresa and Monty S. in the ruling, agreed to conceive a child for their friends, listed only as Rebecca and Jason W.
The adoption was to be "open," meaning the biological parents would be allowed to be part of the child's life. However, that agreement soon fell apart, and Teresa and Monty filed to invalidate the adoption.
In upholding the invalidation on Friday, the high court said that while Nebraska law allows for open adoptions of foster children, it does not allow open private adoptions.
