He's gone.
Dawn and Gene Scott met Amanda Hopkins while she was pregnant. For the childless couple, it must have seen like a dream come true. Amanda agreed before the child's birth to let the Scotts adopt her baby.
The Scotts were there on hand to videotape the birth on May 1. He was placed with the Scotts 2 days later.
The adoption was supposed to be final in 2001, however, the child's biological father filed a motion demanding custody. Amanda Hopkin's withdrew her support for the adoption and started seeking custody herself.
She was awarded custody last month and the biological dad has visitation rights. The Scott's have appealed and the case is ongoing, meanwhile, the 3 year old has been returned to his mother, leaving the 2 people who raised him. There are no provisions, at this time, for the Scotts to have visitation.
