Synopsis:

Staff Sergeant Terry Achane was married to Tira Bland.

Tira became pregnant and Terry deployed to SC. Terry was led to believe that Tira miscarried the baby.

In actuality, Taria traveled from TX to UT to have the baby. She put the baby up for adoption without Terry's permission. She evidently intentionally gave the adoption agency a false address for Terry so he could not be contacted.

It appears that Taria deliberately put the baby up for adoption with no intention of allowing Terry any input. It also appears that Taria falsified some adoption documents to indicate that she did not know where the bio-father was.

The Freis family adopted the baby. There is conflicting reporting in whether the Freis family was aware of the father's lack of permission.

When Terry found out that he had a daughter, he immediately tried to get custody. The Freis family has been fighting this for over a year.

Recently, a UT judge has ruled that the child (now 2 years old) needs to be turned over to the biological father.

The issue is that while the baby should be with a biological parent, the Freis family has been raising this baby for almost 2 years.

Thinking only of the well being of the child, should the child should the child stay with the only "parents" she has ever known, or go with a stranger who happens to be the bio-father?
