The Baby Richard case raises difficult questions about the meaning of biological parenthood and the weight that should be given to this connection. Do you think Baby Richard should have been returned to his birth parents, or would you have allowed him to remain with his adoptive parents? Assuming both that the father was wrongfully deprived of his opportunity to develop a relationship with his child and that removing the child from his adoptive family would be harmful to the child, how do you go about resolving this case? What factors take precedence? Can a child's best interest and a parent's rights be balanced against each other in order to arrive at a solution?
