it'is a shame !!!! the biological father are using this child and getting rich with the history of donations. I ask to myself how many dollars is in his account. The stepfather is this striving for love, a child who is not his. Vera

That is insane. The whole thing is like a nightmare for this father. He should write a book after all this is finished. I thought the point of sending Elian Gonzalez to his dad was that “no country can take the rights of a father regardless of where the parent lives”. We as Americans did not want to do this to Elian's father because we did not want any country to do it to any of our citizens. The child was born in this country, hence he is an American. His mother is dead, his next of kin is his natural father. What part of this don't they understand? Our government should seriously interfere in this situation. Enough is enough, how many years has it been since this father has had to endure these evil people?

Good point, AR. According ot the AP:

"The high court ruled that a federal court should decide whether the boy will return to the U.S. or remain with his stepfamily in Brazil."

That is not what I read. I read that they ruled they could not rule, and passed it back to a lower court of appeals.
