On the evidence the court was not satisfied on the balance of probabilities that an adoption ceremony required by Chinese custom had occurred and the contemporaneous and testimonial evidence as to the alleged 1949 marriage and continuing spousal relationship was inconsistent and insufficient; accordingly both appeals fail and earlier declarations (that LTM was the lawfully adopted daughter) stand.
