A Custody Battle Turned Missing Child

The first of its kind custody battle between Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins has taken an even uglier turn for the worse, as unimaginable as that may be.

That it has come to this point, that Lisa Miller has run away and disappeared with her daughter Isabella, is the worst case scenario in an exceedingly tragic story. Isabella’s other mother, Janet Jenkins, recently won sole custody of Isabella because Miller had repeatedly refused to abide by the court-ordered custody arrangements. This is a complicated custody battle made infinitely more complex because of the differences in state laws on same-sex parenting and civil unions between Vermont, where the couple entered into a civil union, and Virginia, where Miller has lived with Isabella since 2003.

Which Mother for Isabella? Civil Union Ends in an Abduction and Questions

Lisa A. Miller and her daughter, Isabella, started their fugitive lives here in the fall of 2009, disguised in the white scarves and long blue dresses of the Mennonites who spirited them out of the United States and adopting the aliases Sarah and Lydia.

Now 10, Isabella Miller-Jenkins has spent her last three birthdays on the run, “bouncing around the barrios of Nicaragua,” as one federal agent put it, a lively blond girl and her mother trying to blend in and elude the United States marshals who have traveled to the country in pursuit.

She can now chatter in Spanish, but her time in Nicaragua has often been lonely, those who have met her say, long on prayer but isolated. She has been told that she could be wrenched from her mother if they are caught. She has also been told that the other woman she once called “Mama,” Ms. Miller’s former partner from a civil union in Vermont that she has since renounced, cannot go to heaven because she lives in sin with women.

Isabella’s tumultuous life has embodied some of America’s bitterest culture wars — a choice, as Ms. Miller said in a courtroom plea, shortly before their desperate flight, “between two diametrically opposed worldviews on parentage and family.”

Isabella was 7 when she and Ms. Miller jumped into a car in Virginia, leaving behind their belongings and a family of pet hamsters to die without food or water. Supporters drove them to Buffalo, where they took a taxi to Canada and boarded a flight to Mexico and then Central America.

Ms. Miller, 44, is wanted by the F.B.I. and Interpol for international parental kidnapping. In their underground existence in this impoverished tropical country, she and Isabella have been helped by evangelical groups who endorse her decision to flee rather than to expose Isabella to the “homosexual lifestyle” of her other legal mother, Janet Jenkins.
