翻译一段英文
It's no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them. That's especially true of children who remain in abusive homes because the law blindly favors biological parents. It's also true of children who suffer for years in foster homes (收养孩子的家庭) because of parents who can't or won't care for them but refuse to give up custody (监护) rights.
Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays fits neither description, but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do. Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody baffle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived. A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father she's ever known and that her biological parents have "no legal claim" on her.
The ruling, though it may yet be reversed, sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. That's an important development, one that's long overdue.
Shortly after birth in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents. Kimberly's biological parents, Ernest and Regina Twigg, received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988. Medical tests showed that the child wasn't the Twiggs' own daughter, but Kimt only was, thus sparking a custody battle with Robert Mays. In 1989, the two families agreed that Mr. Mays would maintain custody with the Twiggs getting visiting fights. Those rights were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being harmed.
The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr. Mays rendered her suit debated. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue ( 起诉) on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit.
Certainly, the biological link between parent and child is fundamental. But biological parents aren't always preferable to adoptive ones, and biological parentage does not convey an absolute ownership that cancels all the rights of children.
翻译一段英文It's no secret that many children would be healthier a
孩子与养父母一起生活比与亲生父母在一起更健康更幸福已经不是一个秘密了。尤其是在虐待孩子的家庭,因为法律在生理关系面前毫无作用。在那些收养孩子很多年的家庭也是一样,因为他们不能或不去照顾孩子却不愿意放弃监护权。
14岁的金伯利.梅斯不属于任何一种,但是她最近的胜诉(事迹)也许可以帮助到孩子们。在金伯利的养父母和从未生活过的亲爹娘之间爆发了一场激烈的监护争夺战,金伯利就是争夺的对象。一个福罗里达州的法官判定这个少年要跟着唯一见过的父亲并说她的亲生父母没有什么合乎法律要求的地方。
虽然是反向的裁定,但还是推翻了血缘是主要的亲子关系(判断依据)的法则。这是一个早该改了的重要进步。
1978年12月,在金伯利.梅斯和另一个婴儿在诞生不久就被抱错了,并被送到了错误的父母手中。1988年,金伯利的亲生父母欧内斯特和瑞贝娜.崔姬,收到了一个死于心脏病的小孩。药理测试显示,这个小孩不是崔姬家的女儿而是金才是。
因此导致了一场他们和罗伯特梅斯之间的监护大战。1989年,两家达成一致意见认为梅斯先生应该继续拥有监护权而崔姬家拥有探访权。这些权利在梅斯先生觉得金佰利受到了伤害时被终止掉了。
这个决定让金伯利和梅斯家放弃了起诉考虑、。但是法官明确了金伯利有代表自己的起诉资格。因此他明确了她不只是任大人们分割的财产。
当然,父母与孩子之间血缘联系是基础性的,但是亲生父母并不总是最适合养他们的,而且亲生父母也并不能完全转让或者取消脱离和孩子的所有权关系。
