US Supreme Court Dashes Indiana Family Custody Hopes

Benjamin Wyrembek, the biological father of Grayson, has been fighting for his son since 8 days after he was born, a long 3 years ago. He was granted custody in October 2010. Monday’s petition denial was one more positive step for this father.

“The U.S. Supreme Court discussed the merits of the case Friday [March 4, 2011] in a conference, but the petition was denied Monday [March 7, 2011].”

Only a few weeks after Ben received custody of his child, “The child psychologist that has been meeting with Grayson and the week before said that Grayson was regressing,” Jason Vaughn told WLKY in November. “He was already showing signs of attachment disorder. The transition hadn’t happened and he wasn’t forming a bond with Ben and the transition needed to be prolonged.”

It is truly amazing that these adoptive parents were diagnosing “attachment disorder” in a child that had just transitioned back to his father. They were aware of Ben wanting to parent Grayson for over three years and allowed Grayson to attach to them.

“Wyrembek filed a lawsuit against the Vaughns and the adoption agency seeking $400,000.

The suit claims the Vaughns refused to surrender Grayson as ordered, refused visitation by the father and claims they made defamatory statements against him.”

Most media stories heavily side with the adoptive parents with the ever-so-common excuse that the child has been with the family too long to transition.
