"We're very pleased that Tristan is in a prospective adoptive home, and we expect that he will be adopted very soon," said Jeanne Tate, an adoption lawyer in Tampa involved with the matter. "We're very, very excited about it for this child's sake."
[...]
Generally speaking, Tate said, to cede custody of a child, a parent can relinquish parental rights voluntarily or have a court terminate those rights. She could not say what happened in Tristan's case.

They are on a short break.

Pizza was delivered to him at that house and pizza boxes were found in the house. I don't know how he could have 'eaten pizza' in that house. Unfortunately, I have smelled that horrible death odor. It is so pungent that you can taste it. It is a smell you can never forget.
