New report... child taken from US parents (China)

Girl caught in adoption tug-of-war adjusting to new life in China - CNN.com

I just read this. What a sad situation. Her US parents sure fought long and hard for her!

Wow-that really is sad. It's kind of like an extreme divorce case, with no visitation with the noncustodial parents. I really feel for her.

Did the reporter even try to contact the Bakers? Nothing on their heart break in raising a child since she was four weeks and then having her taken away years later?

When I saw it on TV they were interviewed and showed the family together etc.... very sad!!!
there was more to the story when it was on TV. they focused more on why the daughter was going to go with her Biological family.

This has been a story for at least a few years....

Here is a quick syopsis of the story...
Anna Mae He affair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you read to the bottom, you can see the actual news stories over the years....

Personally... I'm sorry that Anna's life was in limbo for as long as it was.... but I'm convinced that she is where she belongs.

I have to agree after reading the whole story and history on Wikapedia that this little girl is where she belongs. It made me mad how unfairly her biological parents were treated by the foster parents and the courts. What a hard situation for the little girl.
