Story here. Excerpt:
'When Samuel Gerome Dye got the news, he says he went crazy with joy: He ran, he danced, he screamed, he sang in the street.
And then Dye made a beeline for Utah, driving nonstop from Dallas through a blizzard in New Mexico and arriving last Friday to retrieve his 2-year-old son, whom a judge in Utah’s 4th District Court decided last week had been improperly placed for adoption here in July.
On Saturday, Dye and his son Samir traveled home together, putting miles and a nightmare behind them.'

Next step?
What I'm curious about is the next step... the father getting their child back happens so rarely I'm not sure what the precedent is....
Can he file for child support from the mother, or has she successfully signed away her rights and responsibilities? Or will the mother file for custody now that the adoption is voided, and does she even stand a chance?
