RIO DE JANEIRO — A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that a 9-year-old boy living in Brazil should be returned to his American father, but the case likely will be appealed again, officials said.
The case began in 2004, when David Goldman’s wife, Bruna Bianchi, took then-4- year-old Sean to her native Brazil. Goldman says it was to be a two-week vacation.
But she stayed, and so did the boy. She eventually was divorced there and remarried. Last year, she died giving birth to a daughter.
The boy’s stepfather and maternal grandmother say he wants to remain in Brazil.
