Have you not read that JJ has two living parents other than Lori. druggies criminals whatever they may be they are still two living parents that have an excellent chance in regaining custody of their kid. Follow along.
Kay’s son is JJ’s biological father, so JJ has an open/kinship adoption.
JJ’s biological parents have not expressed any desire to get custody of JJ in the last 7 years. Although, I could imagine they feel pretty awful right now - probably didn’t imagine that uncle Charles would be shot dead and that Lori would go off the deep end - but they signed away their parental rights 7 years ago, and birthparents can’t easily “re-gain custody” of children they relinquish. In fact, almost all states have sealed adoption records and adult adoptees are never allowed to see their actual birth certificate (they get issued a fake one with adoptive parents names on it). Kay and Larry were happy with getting to visit and talk to JJ, they weren’t trying to take him away from Lori, they want to see their (biological) grandson because they love him.
