   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-6039
   U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kressel, Author, with Saladino and Nail, Bankruptcy Judges]
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. Missouri does not provide an exemption
   for children who are not related - either biologically or through adoption -
   to the head of the family and the bankruptcy court did not err in denying
   debtor's claim for an exemption for the three children of the unrelated
   woman living with him.
