Gary Stocklaufer, the man who made national headlines after claiming that he had been denied the ability to adopt his cousin's baby boy because he was overweight, and even went so far as to undergo gastric bypass surgery, losing close to two hundred pounds, in an attempt to regain custody of the little boy that he had been raising as his own, is once again back in the news.

While the courts denied that Stocklaufer was not granted the adoption due to his weight, but rather for his failure to follow proper legal procedures, stating that he and his wife took custody of the baby and brought him into the state, without first having a homestudy completed nor obtaining a court order, both of which are a standard part of Missouri adoption laws for out of state children being brought into the state to be adopted. Despite everything that has occurred the judge still granted custody of the baby boy back to the Stocklaufers, and ordered for that transfer in custody to take place this past Monday. Only Monday came, and Monday went, yet the little baby boy never left the home of the foster parents that he has been living with while this whole court case has been going on.

Soctt and Tandy Kraus, whom have considered the child that was placed in their care their son, and not their foster child from the moment that he arrived in their home, are doing their best in fighting to keep him. They already lost one bid last week, for an order to stop the custody transfer from occurring this past Monday. They claim that the custody transfer did not take place on Monday due to the child's court appointed guardian being out of town.

The Stocklaufers had raised the little boy as their own child since he was one week old, until he was removed from their care at the age of four months old, once they were deemed to not be a suitable adoption placement.
