Have to disagree with many commentators, but in the interview LKS did not come across as a good guy. The fact is he kept the real father all long from his daughter and lied in court.
Provided LB can move into Horizons while things are arranged and get the baby to know and trust him before he whisks her off to her new home, I can go along with that, but to have her there alone, without LB, no I don’t go for that at all.
“Gradual handover makes no sense. Is it because there are traces of drugs still in there? Or HKS is a control freak and wants to make it difficult for Larry? It is not like HKS took care of her. And at her age, the sooner the transition is made the better. “
Yes, HKS is a control freak and you are right, gradual makes no sense for DL’s needs. It’ll just be protracted confusion from a baby’s point of view. Plus her usual caregivers are bound to be upset which she’ll pick up on. No way a baby can comprehend “gradual.” It’ll just be prolongin the confusion until new routines with newtoher caregivers and she can fall into routines.
It might make sense for LB and any other caregiver he’s employing to spend as much as a day (maybe two at the outside)to learn the patterns ( if any) of what the Sterns have been doing with her, so they have an idea of what DL will be expecting.
