HOUSTON, March 21 (UPI) -- A DNA test revealed Wednesday an 8-year-old Houston boy is the same child allegedly kidnapped by his godmother when he was a baby.

A judge announced Wednesday the test had confirmed Fernando Morin is the biological father of Miguel Morin, who had been living with Aubion Champion-Morin and Fernando Morin when he disappeared. Test results from Champion-Morin had not yet come back.

KHOU-TV, Houston, said the couple would be seeking visitation rights with the boy once the maternal DNA test results are released.

Miguel was in a foster home Wednesday and will remain there pending a March 28 hearing, KHOU said.

Child Protective Services said Miguel believes his name is Jaquan, and his godmother, Krystal Tanner, who is currently in jail, is his mom. A CPS psychologist warned the judge Wednesday Miguel has development issues and his life could be thrown into turmoil if he is reintroduced to his biological family.

KHOU said Miguel's four siblings all live with yet another couple who have said Champion-Morin had turned the children over to them to raise because she could not handle the responsibility. They have also said they doubted Tanner had kidnapped the boy.
