I also found a bio for this guy. Of course he’s a graduate of Liberty University and its law school.

You would think a US Marine would be able to follow orders and not go against the rules on adoption by foreigners. |
Don’t bring Protestants into this. You’re talking about nondenominational evangelicals. |
From one Taliban to another Taliban. Poor kid. Her best chance was to live in Texas with her relatives. |
Gee I feel safer, knowing that this guy is in part of our national security network. |
You clearly have never interacted with a Marine. They are not that bright. |
And FDD too. Yeesh. |
If I were a journalist (or government agency) following this case, I'd be contacting FDD to get an on-the-record response as to why and how they are supporting this individual, to include giving him space on their official website. |
Nondenominational evangelicals are Protestant. |
These people need to be in jail, and their bio kids removed permanently. Anyone who would illegally abduct a child should not have access to children. |
They are horrible. I feel awful for that little girl. They are the only family she knows and I can't imagine the trauma that will result from all of this. When she eventually gets removed, it is going to be horrific for her. As bad as they are, she considers them her family. The people she was with until she was 1 she won't even remember |
I don’t think either of you really understand what Protestant means. If you’re Christian, you’re basically classified as either Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant. I think first poster is thinking WASP. Second poster is correct that nondenominational evangelicals, as they’re Christian and aren’t orthodox or catholic, fall into the Protestant bucket, but they have major differences in theology than Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans, etc. |
Yeah it is a no win for the little girl. I think she is now 5 or almost 5. I was watching a documentary of a woman who kidnapped her kids from Australia and kept them in Columbia where she was originally from. The father immediately fought it but it was in 2019 and then covid happened. When it all finally got to court the court ruled that yes, it was an illegal act (under The Hague Convention) but since the children had now been settled in Columbia with their mother for a few years and in school, he wasn’t going to order them returned to their father in Australia. Same kind of thing where it was the length of time..and determined by what was best for the kids versus the wrong action of the parent. In that case, the father ended up moving to Columbia to at least be in their lives. |
It’s horrible. I hope she is sent to her real family soon and they are given sufficient restitution to cover some serious therapy for the poor kid. |
