I've heard of far too many child custody cases where the judge
took a child away from her adoptive parents, the only parents
she remembered, and gave her to a biological parent who just
showed up one day. It's not *exactly* the same scenario, but I
doubt a step-parent has much more pull than an adoptive parent.
