What a horrible thing for this poor girl to have to go through.

Update:

ETA: Yeah, this just goes to show that sometimes adoption isn't the best thing. If you can even call this adoption. I think kidnapping sounds about right.

    1- offered to HELP until the parents got on their feet.

    2- thought they had a VERBAL agreement.

    3- fought this girl's parents for 6 years.

    this stinks like week-old broccoli.

    also, i wonder if this little girl would have adjusted if ALLOWED TO GO BACK TO HER PARENTS!

    these aps are bile. they should be sued for kidnapping.

    ps. funny how the article just glossed over the aps role in this? oh the koolaid.

    ETA: i agree with racheal... what the hell does lack of furniture have to do with this story? that was a total waste of ink. my editor friend believes this was filler stff to meet a deadline because it changed; and that the original draft ripped the kidnappers...um., i mean aps...

  • My heart goes out to that little girl. I can't imagine how hard it is on her. I wonder why the reporter found it necessary to report on the moms lack of furniture? What does that have anything to do with being a mom? Not to mention the 6 years wasted in court the girl could have been with her mom learning things that would have been much easier on her to learn at 4 years old!. There are no verbal agreements in costudy.

  • If I remember correctly, the child was only left in the Baker's care TEMPORARILLY and then the so called "friends" used nasty and underhanded court methods to try to sever the biological parents' rights. This little girl would have been so much better if the Bakers had stuck to the deal and only cared for her temporarilly. The He's should SUE SUE SUE SUE the pants off the Bakers and then SUE the courts that tried to sever their rights and adopt the child out against their will.

    This whole case stunk. And the smell is coming from the Bakers.

    Wow. This whole thing stinks. All the lies that this little girl has been forced to deal with.

    See, it ALWAYS hurts the child when the best interest of the child is NOT thought about....

    Poor child. It was a dumb and selfish of the adoptive parents in this case.

    I was wondering how this little girl was doing since she went back to her parents, but how could she NOT be having a rough time. As others have said, she should have long been back with her parents and not experiencing all this culture and language shock.

    Yes it is a horrible thing.

    The "good christian paps" tried to "legally kidnap" her from her natural parents by dragging this poor girl through the US court system for years. How humane and loving of them.

    They should have sued the Paps after they got custody back.

    Its a shame that anyone has to watch their backs when they ask for a little help especially of those that claim to be good christians.

    POOR KID!! I was adopted as a baby from China. Now I am a preeteen living in America and I can not imagine being forced to live back in China. I have known my adoptive parents for my whole life,and love them to death!! to go back to strangers,in a polluted communist country would be quite horrible.
