Nice try. That only applies in civilized nations, and certainly not where it causes enormous and crippling damage to the child in question. Doesn’t matter how she got here, it only mattered her current situation and what was best for the child and her rights. If she was an infant, long before she had time to be culturally acclimated, you may have an argument, but not here.
That was a judicial fiat abduction of an American child to an alien, hostile nation, for which she has no connection except genetics, a profound and cruel punishment for a child that only knows this country (and my state), one who is wholly Americanized. This was even a more obscene violation of rights than the Elian Gonzales example as I cited, which saw an extralegal & violent repatriation of a child to a terrorist dictator (since at least Elian was raised in that country and was not wholly alien).

Hey guy. Lots of American kids get sent back to terrible parents every day. Look at our family court system.
I feel sorry for the child. but it still was a stupid thing for the foster family to do. They never had a legal leg to stand on and they did the baby a diservice by not returning it immediately when the birthparents requested the child back. This is not an issue of being civilized. This is an issue of case law.
Parents get their kids unless there is a compellling reason why THEY should not have the kid. Not whether there is a compelling reason why the kid should stay where it is.
