"..Officials say the girl has gained weight and begun to grow but is at risk of never reaching her potential..."
Yes. Her emotional and mental development has been retarded to a very poor state. It looks like she will now, or eventually become a ward of the state.

I heard this story before on some news show. Actually, if there can be any measure of good that may come out of it, it may be that the people that originally wanted to adopt her really do seem like they love her. I think they'll get custody.

She's back with the couple who tried to adopt her in the first place, a home full of love. It's amazing that she has recovered to the extent that she has, and I'm not going to be the one to curse this child so that she doesn't reach whatever potential she has. Children can achieve so much more when they're surrounded by a loving family.
