LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Reuters) - An Arkansas judge said on Tuesday that twin girls adopted twice through an Internet agency belonged to neither a California nor a British couple claiming them and that the international custody case should be decided by a Missouri court.
Pulaski County Chancery Judge Mackie Pierce asked that the girls, now under foster care in Britain, be sent back to the United States.
Alan and Judith Kilshaw of Wales and Richard and Vickie Allen of California both claimed custody of the children, but the Kilshaws had not met Arkansas residency requirements and the Allens had not had the children long enough for a legal claim, Pierce said.

One door closed is one door opened
One more memory fades away
Such grand dreams we all have chosen
We lost our innocence along the way
