Tell it to freeper “Chickensoup” (for the marxist soul?). S/he sides with the court.
Just like all those “father’s rights” advocates who sided with the court on Elian. They made me sick.
No, this was an abduction by a pig court. You don’t take a child that has only known this country and forceably return them to a hostile foreign totalitarian nation where she is a complete alien to language and culture. It is EVIL.
(And in the case of Elian, while they were returning him to a familiar culture, they were specifically delivering him to Fidel, not the boy’s father, as there is no such thing as parental rights in Cuba. All children are PROPERTY of the state under the Cuban Constitution, and the state is Castro).

Parents have rights to their children. Unless there is reason of unfitness to terminate these rights or unless the birthparents terminate them of their own free will, no court will step between the bond of parent and child.
This is the Opposite of Marxism where the government makes all the decisions. I did not realize that Freepers would be happy to role over years and years of case and common law and jepordize their own claims on their children.
Did you read the article? If it states the facts correctly (it is MSNBC, after all), the Bakers SOUGHT to adopt, but never adopted Anna. She was a foster child; the natural parents signed over custody to get health insurance for her, but never allowed an adoption.
While the natural parents may not have offered the best option for Anna’s life, the Bakers battling through the courts for seven years, further acclimating her to America, its culture and language, was not in Anna’s best interest.
These are always gut-wrenching cases, but absent a legal adoption, I don’t know how the courts could have ruled otherwise.
