TWIGG FAMILY GETS CUSTODY OF TEEN AFTER ALL

The biological parents of switched-at-birth teen-ager Kimberly Mays have been given custody of her by the man who raised her, a lawyer said Saturday.

After a week of negotiations, Ernest and Regina Twigg reached an agreement Friday with Robert Mays, who raised the 15-year-old from birth, said John Blakely, a lawyer for the Twiggs.

"It's a nice Mother's Day present for Mrs. Twigg, isn't it?" Blakely asked. "I know the final agreement is acceptable to everyone, including Kimberly."

Telephone numbers for Mays and the Twiggs are unlisted. A telephone message left Saturday at the office of Mays' lawyer, Arthur Ginsburg, was not immediately returned.
