I think you have to take a deeper look at what Stern was stipulating and not be taken in by the way the media is delivering his "gracious offer of custody".
There are two things here that Stern wants:
1. Virgie having no legal say in anything; and
2. Stern maintains control of Anna Nicole Smith's estate.
An agreement for #2 would bypass the will, where when the will is declared invalid (and I believe it will be), his agreement with Birkhead will stand.
With that in mind, what do you think now?
I'm not basing my opinion on the media, I'm basing it on interview with Debra Rose (Virgie's attorney), Larry Birkhead's attorneys as well as his sister tonight. Larry doesn't want the money -- he probably easily told HKS whatever if that is what it took to bring his daughter home...
Larry could also very easily tell HKS Virgie is out and still allow her to see Dannielynn once back in the states, he stated he wants her in the babies life....
Virgie is not dropping HER case for full custody -- Debra Rose confirmed it.. it is her suit that has them in court right now and unless she drops it the next step will be a full custody trial for Dannielynn.
