What do you think? This situation is similar to the Cuban boy who got lost at sea. In my opinion both fathers were within their rights to have custody of their sons.

Sean Goldman, Dad Arrive in U.S. - CBS News

The father of a 9-year-old boy at the center of a five-year custody battle across two continents looked at his son sleeping peacefully on a flight to the U.S. and said he loves him.

Sean Goldman and his dad, David Goldman of Tinton Falls, N.J., landed in Orlando Thursday evening on a jet chartered by NBC.

In an interview with NBC, Goldman said, "My little boy is 5 feet away, sound asleep, peaceful. We're on our way. My heart is just melting. I love him."

The scene earlier was much different, when the two were reunited in Rio de Janeiro. The youngster was forced to squeeze though a jostling crowd of reporters and photographers.

The arrival ends a battle that pitted Sean's father against the boy's Brazilian stepfather, who had cared for Sean since his mother died last year.

I'm glad the Goldman's are reunited. I agree with the previous poster, both children (the one in the Cuban situation also) should have been returned to the birth parents.
