Capobiancos register at Target for new adopted baby

Lorraine

UPDATE (Nov. 28, 2017)
Apparently Matt and Melanie Capobianco did adopt another child, a daughter named Stella, as I originally surmised in this 2013 post, soon after Veronica Brown was taken from her natural father by court order. An obituary for Melanie's mother lists among her descendants (which they are actually not) the two children of Melanie as Veronica and Stella. The obit says this:

Dr. Duncan is survived by her daughter, Melanie Duncan and her husband, Matthew Capobianco of Charleston, SC; her granddaughters, Veronica and Stella Capobianco; her brother Joseph B. Fabin Jr. and his wife Lisa Fabin and her nephew Timothy Fabin all of Minerva, N.Y. 

Just a news brief today: Matt and Melanie Capobianco have apparently adopted a second child, and have registered for gifts at Target. To those who do not know, the Capobiancos of Charleston, South Carolina prevailed in their battle to remove four-year-old Veronica Brown from the home of Dusten Brown, her biological father--where she was thriving--at the end of September. Regarding the adoption of a second child--from where I do not know--I really have no words to add, and look for our reader's reaction. I am sick at heart.--lorraine

Dusten Brown: A Father's final words to his daughter

Veronica with her father, Dusten Brown

Veronica Rose Brown (who will soon be called Capobianco, one assumes) is now back in South Carolina with Matt and Melanie Capobianco. This transfer of four-year-old Veronica from her natural father and family to genetic strangers has angered and hurt a great many adoptees and birth parents. The taking of the child to be raised by parents not her own has opened up the old wounds we had that stem from our own situations. Eventually, our anger and turmoil will recede again, for a while, until there is another case that so captures our imagination. Following is his statement on the transfer of his daughter, Veronica.--lorraine

Reflections on Veronica Brown and being raised in a family different from your own

Veronica Brown yesterday

It was not on television, it was dignified, it was as private as possible, but it happened last night: Dusten Brown gave his daughter Veronica to the adoptive parents who treated her no more than a piece of property they had paid for. Now she was signed, sealed and delivered into the hands of Matt and Melanie Copabianco, and from reports, whisked immediately out of the county. It is likely they will be back home today in South Carolina, a thousand miles away from her father--her real father--in Oklahoma. 

From new reports we learned that Dusten Brown said goodbye to Veronica at Jack Brown House, the tribal headquarters where they have been living in Tahlequah. As Brown and his wife, Robin, watched from a window, a Cherokee County sheriff's deputy and a Cherokee Nation marshal led Veronica to the nearby marshal's building, where the handover occurred about 7:30 p.m.
