The family adopted her in 2008, but a Tennessee appeals court overturned that after McCaul was released from prison.
Sounds like the father has a case for reclaiming his daughter.
I know. one family, then a different family, then the other family again. Who cares if it makes the poor child dizzy, scared, insecure... right?!
If my math is correct, she was three when placed with the foster parents. So the American judicial system says it is "just" to rip a 9-year-old child from the only family she has ever known -- in her eyes, her mom and dad -- and return her to a convicted felon who she doesn't know.
To me, this is an unspeakably cruel thing to do to a child ... unless, of course, one holds blood above family and considers her the "property" of the felon.
