An excellent episode, except for the way it ended...
***SPOILER ALERT***
I kept hoping the biological father would, in the closing minutes of the episode, change his mind and do what was best for the child: Generous visitation so he and his boys could get to know his son/their brother, with some kind of visitation worked out for the maternal grandparents as well. It would only do the child good to know that he has another father and half-siblings (and brothers his own age to boot), as well as another set of grandparents who all love him. I felt so badly for him and also for his adoptive parents, who were such good, loving people. In a twisted way, it reminded me of a child slave sold away from his parents. I can only hope that perhaps the father realized his son wouldn't be happy and returned custody to the parents who raised him, with the boy required to spend time with him and his grandparents...
