There has been such a time lag in this case that I'd totally forgotten about it. It has several odd elements. First, one must be typically be a US citizen to adopt a waiting child from the system. Secondly, the child was in Oregon, which is not where Thomas's primary residence is located. That would have required a great deal of interstate compact paperwork and the agreement of San Mateo County to provide courtesy supervision. I would wonder who would be doing supervision while the child was in Oregon. Third, the man seemed obsessed with staying in contact with the child even after arrested. And lastly, there were more children, adults and an animal involved. A nasty case all around. A jurisdictional nightmare. And WTH, is the final statement?
