Biological dad returns 4-year-old Veronica to adoptive parents
Biological dad returns 4-year-old Veronica to adoptive parents
The 4-year-old girl at the center of a lengthy, high-profile custody dispute between her Native American father and her adoptive parents has been returned to the couple, an attorney for the biological father said Monday.
Earlier in the day, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled Dusten Brown, the girl's father, must return the girl, named Veronica, to Matt and Melanie Capobianco, who live in South Carolina.
The Capobiancos adopted Veronica at birth in 2009 and have been involved in a custody battle since then with Brown, who lives in Oklahoma.
According to an earlier written statement from the family after the court announcement, their "long legal nightmare" is over.
