It is sad because this really isn't a failed adoption. they were only her foster parents after the birthparents were told the placement was temporary they have been fighting to get her back since she was two... now she's eight. Though not the popular opinion the foster parents (not adoptive parents because their rights were never terminated) have some responsibility in this situation.

Situations like this are what make people think that adoptions aren't safe, that birthparents can come back at anytime. Which isn't the case, they were foster parents who had a child placed with them. They had no legal rights to the child but they proceeded to cut the birthparents off in an effort to adopt a child that wasn't available for adoption.

I know this isn't the popular opinion and regardless it is a horrible thing that's being done to this young girl. Her life will be forever changed by these events, and someone needs to stand up for her.
