Look, the fact they put him under conservatorship rather than adopting him means I don’t give a shit what they say. That mere fact shows they didn’t see him as their son and they were in no hurry to correct that.
And given how much that movie made $138K is shockingly just a pittance. It’s his story, not theirs. And they had him use a family friend as his agent while they used an actual agent if I’m remembering correctly when it came to this movie.
Idk why this is such a sticking point for people.
They've said the lawyer said it was a problem to try adoption and that the conservatorship was the way to go. Isn't it very possible they heard that then never looked into it further, thinking the guy gave them good info?
It doesn't sound like they've done anything wrong with the money or anything. I'm sure he's been invited to every Christmas, etc.
At what point is the piece of paper important if everything else is above board?
Because a simple Google search for state laws will tell you otherwise. Because of his age there was no restriction on him being adopted. It was simple paper work that, IIRC, you dont even have to go to a court hearing for. The paper just gets filed and thats that. The conservatorship was actually more of a process that adopting him would have been.
