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.

Exactly- clues here:
After a long legal battle, the Tennessee Supreme Court cleared the way for her to be reunited with her biological parents, Shaoqiang and Qin Luo He.
The Hes left Anna Mae with the Bakers after her father, a student at the University of Memphis, lost a scholarship and student stipend over a sexual assault charge for which he was ultimately acquitted.
The Bakers refused to give Anna Mae up and have been trying to adopt her over her parents' objections.

Seems to me the fault lies with the foster family. Knowing how legal battles go, it wouldn't surprise me if it's been going on for several years, and the "foster" parents say "but she's 8 now" nevermind she may have been 3 or 4 when they started this fight.

She was put into foster care when she was 3 weeks, not 2 years old.

Here's the article I read saying they are illegal immigrants:

The lower court seemed to have had it right, the Hes originally intended to grant custody to the Bakers, then when it suited them claimed they didn't understand what they were doing. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out fear of deportation caused them to use this child solely for their own purposes.
