Young man questions 'deadoption' in court after losing his mother's surname The defense of the adoptive mothers involved in the case that became known as "de-adoption" states that the decision to break the family bond came exclusively from the adopted son and denies that he was abandoned by the family. The case gained repercussion after Flávio da Silva Maximiano Júnior questioned in court the sentence that ended his adoption when he was already of legal age. The young man seeks to reverse the decision and recover rights arising from adoptive parentage. According to the lawyer representing Lilian Regina Terres Moroso and Sônia Moroso Terres, the two did not want the family relationship to break up and tried to convince Flávio to give up the idea. "The mothers never agreed. The mothers begged, asked, cried, did everything to dissuade Flávio from this decision. But there was no way," said the lawyer in an interview with Fantástico. Still according to the defense, the mothers' agreement with the request occurred because Flávio had already reached the age of majority and was determined to leave the family. "An adult man made this decision and they had nothing to do," said the legal representative. The lawyer maintains that the mothers felt their son's departure as a family loss. "With that feeling of mothers who lost their child, they had to agree," he said.
