Even so, what astounds me (and no one seems to agree with me) is that a court-appointed guardian of a 5-month-old baby was awarded custody of the remains. I have not really researched the case, but in the report I did read (CNN-dot-com) it stated that Milstein got custody of the remains, and described him as guardian ad litem - defined as a court appointed guardian for a minor child. How is it in anyone's best interest (or entirely legal, for that matter) that he would qualify, in favor of even previously estranged blood relatives?


I'm right with you, DC. The guardian ad litem is just for a child, how Milstein got custody of the remains baffles me. The only thing I can figure is that he is supposed to be "non-partisan", so maybe that had some bearing on things? If I were the funeral home having to deal with all of this, I would tell them that there wasn't enough money in the world to pay me to deal with these clowns.

I have also been following a story about a gay couple, legally married in a Quaker wedding, where one died, and even with a will and other documentation, the surviving spouse was denied custody and disposition of the body. Custody was given to the decedent's parents (who, by the way, had previously "disowned" him because he was gay.)

Amazing isn't it? Even with documentation.

I recently observed a case where a child was given up for adoption by a teenage mother who'd gotten pregnant by mistake. The biological father skedaddled when he found out he'd made his girlfriend pregnant and was nowhere to be seen. A childless couple legally adopted the infant through a certified adoption agency.

But when the biological later found out the child had been adopted he changed his mind and sued to win custody of the child. A judge forced the adoptive couple to give the infant back to the biological father even though they'd legally adopted him and paid tens of thousands of dollars in the process.
