There's nothing wrong with wanting the child -- many loving parents give up their children for adoption and miss them -- but what is BEST for the CHILD? Too many adults do things regarding children for selfish reasons. They didn't begin trying to get the child back until she was 2 which is old enough to cause damage to her. They actually signed away their rights and then later claimed they misunderstood (which is another reason to question why people come to a country in which they don't understand the language, but that's another thread), not to mention they are illegal immigrants. If the Hes think this child is not going to be permanently negatively affected, they've got a huge surprise ahead of them. I wouldn't be surprised if they change their minds a few months down the road after the child continually cries and begs for the only parents she's ever known. She's not a baby, she's 8 years old.

No, she was put into foster care when she was two. That is when her father was accused of a sexual assault. According to the article, the foster family refused to give her back when he was acquitted. According to the article, the father was on student aid in college when this happened, that is not an illegal alien.

The best interest of the child was for the foster family to give her back when he was acquitted. Foster families have given children back to abusive parents, which does not seem to be the case here. btw, how many years has the foster family been fighting this? Many years, hardly in the best interest of the child.

They continued to visit this child, until the foster parents wouldn't allow them to, and then the foster parents went to court four months later and said they had "abandoned" her.

You can't steal someone else's child. Parents have a right to raise their children in the culteral, religious, and manner they deem fit.
