1. “After meeting in 2009, Dr. Oni and Ms. Oni 1 began a [romantic] relationship. They discussed the possibility that Dr. Oni would adopt the twins, who were not his biological children. In April 2010, Ms. Oni and her then three-year-old twins moved into Dr. Oni's home. One month prior to that, in March 2010, Ms. Oni and the twins' natural father had surrendered their parental rights to facilitate the twins' placement for adoption. Notably, the surrender documents executed by Ms. Oni stated, inter alia, that she agreed that Dr. Oni "may initiate legal proceedings for the legal adoption of the children without further notice to me. I do, furthermore, expressly waive any other notice or service in any of the legal proceedings for the adoption of the children." A final decree of adoption was granted to Dr. Oni on August 24, 2010.”
