A California woman is facing the possibility of relinquishing a girl she has been trying to adopt for 18 months while an Ohio court considers the biological father's custody claim. Stacey Doss has been raising the two-year-old since birth and has now been trying to adopt her. However, a hearing will determine whether the child can be placed with her paternal grandmother or not. While the birth mother stated that the father was out of the picture, he filed a motion seeking custody before the adoption was completed. The DNA test did come back positive.
