Indiana Supreme Court nullifies foster parents' adoption of twins taken from mother's home

Indiana Supreme Court nullifies foster parents' adoption of twins taken from mother's home | Indianapolis Star | indystar.com:

The Indiana Supreme Court has nullified the adoption of two children nearly a decade after they were removed from their mother’s home and placed with foster parents who later adopted them.The court’s 5-0 decision handed down Friday reverses a Jasper County judge’s decision not to set aside the adoption decree involving the now 10-year-old fraternal twins.

Child services officials won approval in January 2008 to terminate the parental rights of the twins’ natural mother. She appealed that decision. But while her appeal was pending the foster parents formally adopted the twins, who had already been living with them for three years.
Sound Familiar? How about while an Injunction Appeal was pending OR A Petition to Challenge Adoption was pending, the children were ADOPTED?
