Supreme Court of Kansas July 5, 2013, No. 107,383 (In re the Adoption of H.C.H.)

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Luckert, J.:

This appeal arises from a district court’s ruling that Kansas courts do not have jurisdiction over this stepparent adoption because a Mississippi court had entered a child-custody order involving the child approximately 12 years earlier and had not relinquished jurisdiction.
