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.
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:

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out fear of deportation caused them to use this child solely for their own purposes.
