I agree with this too, it is the ideal situation.

In law however there would be no compulsion,even at age 11, for the rightful parents to be forced to accept such an arrangement and especially even more so when the child was kidnapped and they were in fact victims of a crime.

I would guess, the rightful parents would agree to the adoptive parents having contact with the child as long as they had no knowledge or part of the kidnapping in the first place.

Hardly a weird question by the way jf, it's a really good one actually.
