I know I have said this before, and it still boggles my mind....how in the world could TS & JS adopt a child legally, since she lost custody of her own three children. Judges surely look at past practice, I would think. I mean, what was the reason she lost them ??? That's what amazes me on how they have H...if indeed this was a true adoption before a judge. My daughter is now 31 and adopted...30 years ago, we had to go through attorney's, judges, checking our backgrounds, checking personal references and a host of other things. Her bio dad even had to sign off on it and he was in prison...So what made them think that they could legally, before a judge, adopt Gabriel. Maybe nowadays, you don't have to go before a judge. I dunno....

Are there any details about the circumstances of her losing custody? And can someone tell me where can I read the myspace messages? Thanks in advance!

I have a theory as to how the loose pieces come together. Forgive me if someone has posted the same or similar theory - there are so many great sleuths here someone has probably already thought of this. TS and JS broker underground adoptions. TPS approached EJ not to adopt Baby Gabriel for herself but to act as a broker. TPS did not count on Logan's resistance. The birth certificate that was filed with TPS cousin as the father was done to bypass the need for Logan's signature to ok the adoption. Once the Birth certificate with the cousin name was filed then TPS could have the cousin sign the adoption papers. Once that was completed the underground adoption was arranged. This is IMHO but there are many couples desperate to adopt who don't want to wait a long time, or don't meet the adoption criteria set by legal agencies - maybe they are too old, etc. etc. Again, my theory,speculation and opinion only.
