Hi. I live in the area where this decision to return the child to her birthparents has taken place. This poor little girl has only met her birthparents on two occasions, and neither time she wanted anything to do with them. Her birthparents are Chinese. The little girl speaks NO Chinese and has been ordered to return to birthparents within 12 days. The foster couple she is with was never able to adopt her due to ongoing litigation with bparents..
What happened to the "best interests" of the child??? I'm sorry her birthparents didn't understand the ramifications when they signed papers giving her up. I do feel that some kind of visitation arrangement could have been worked out avoiding this horrific disruption in this child's life.
Before anyone gets angry and says I don't have any feelings for the birthparents please know this. I am a birthmother of a 29 year old son. I have missed him and ached for him every day. HOWEVER I know this burden is mine to bear and not his.
We have to put the child's welfare and feelings first. We just have to.
Kim
