The story is not complete. Did the Chinese family leave the daughter hoping to return when the trial was over?

When did the Chinese couple leave?
When did the acquittal occur?
How long did the US family have the girl?
How long did the US family fight to keep her?
Has the Chinese couple been fighting to keep their daughter the whole time?
Lots more questions unanswered.

I can't make a decision without more information. If the acquittal was quick and couple didn't return for a few years, I would side with the US couple.

There are too many scenarios where I can side with one couple over the other.

I said it was a strange story to begin with... I feel more for the child then anyone. I don't think I would want to leave with people I barely know and go to a place where I can't even speak the language. Unless somebody taught her...I feel for the American family personally. How do you rip a child from the arms of people who have loved and cared for for years and say its in her best interests to go with people she hardly knows to China? Anyway if she was born here isn't she an American citizen? Anyone know why the couple is going back to China ?
