Baby Veronica's two sets of parents were back for a third day at an appellate court in downtown Tulsa.
Her biological father from Oklahoma and her adoptive parents from South Carolina spent several hours Monday and Tuesday on the sixth floor of the state's Kerr office building, where the Court of Civil Appeals meets in Tulsa.
They returned at 9 a.m. Wednesday and left at 11:30. It's not clear whether the proceedings were over.
The public is not allowed past the elevators and all court records are sealed, making it impossible to know what the meetings are about.
Matt and Melanie Capobianco are hoping to take the 4-year-old girl back to South Carolina, where they raised her for the first two years of her life.
But Dusten Brown, the biological father, wants to keep her in Oklahoma, where he has had custody for the last two years. He is currently appealing court orders to give the girl back to the Capobiancos.
