You are abslolutly right, there was no forfiture of rights. I suspect that like many of these terrible and sad cases, the foster parents had an scummy attorney who said, We can outwait them and fight them and eventulaly they will pack it in and go back to China without their daughter.
One of the good things about this is that no one can take anyone else’s child away. Think about that. If you are poor, no one has the right to take your child away. the courts will defend your right to your child. This is a very prolife and pro family law.
Any chance that the people popularly deemed “the foster parents” will serve any jail time for their actions?
