dge returns 18-month-old Teleah to her biological dad, Terry Achane, after his wife put her up for adoption without his consent.
*For once! The fathers get their fair shake in court.
Normally, fathers for one reason or another, are not successful in family cases where they try to sue for custody of their children.
But women and men alike are unsuccessful in having their children returned once they’ve chosen to put them up for adoption.
In an outrageous adoption case in Utah, Judge Darold McDade of Provo, Utah, ruled that Terry Achane have his daughter returned to him by adoptive parents Jared and Kristi Frei within 60 days because of an illegal adoption that is normal for Utah.
Little 18-month-old Leah Frei or Teleah, as her daddy calls her, was put up for adoption by Achane’s wife while he was stationed in South Carolina to work as a drill instructor at Fort Jackson. He thought he would be returning in time to see his daughter born, but instead found his wife, Tira Bland, had fled to Utah




















The mother needs to be brought on criminal charges and he needs to sue the adoption agency into bankruptcy!
I read this story somewhere else and it just made me angry. This was a blatant case of child stealing, if there ever was one. This man, was MARRIED to his now ex-wife, had to fight for this baby BEFORE the adoption was processed. He stated before the child was turned over to these so called ‘adoptive parents’(and they don’t sound too stable either!), that his wife knew he wanted the baby but proceed against his wishes while he was out working to provide a shelter for her. The mother LIED to the adoption agency and the adopted family that the father ‘abandoned’ her, moved to Utah to have the baby there to give it to this family. Mind you, Utah has these laws in place where a pregnant mother who gives up a child for a adoption, does not need the permission of the father. This case was no where close to that.
At one point, I felt bad for the adoptive family but I do not now after reading their comments in other blogs. Apparently, they were in on the ‘scam’ with the agency, knew the father had been trying to get the child back and did everything in their power to block him and drag it out, knowing the child would become attached to them. Now they are out here playing ‘victim’ after knowing full well what the mother and the agency did. The agency did nothing to stop the adoption after the father contacted them that he had not given consent. The whole case is sickening and I hope the father sues the agency and the state for everything they have.
