Because being raised by right-wing, uber conservative, evangelical Christians, who went to Liberty for undergrad and for law school, who claim all muslims are terrorists and think all afghanis raise their daughters to be either 1) suicide bombers, 2) child soldiers or 3) sex slaves is better. Versus being raised by your cousin and his wife, in America, surrounded by your culture, language, family.

GTFOH with your bigotry.

Why would they want an Afghani child if they are this racist?

If that little girl was going to be a victim of female genital mutilation, they DID do the right thing.

Stop making stuff up to justify a kidnapping.

Do you know any Afghani families? I do, with daughters, and they are happy, healthy and well loved. I know ones that came recently as well as ones that have been here 10+ years. You are a bigot.

Above all other things the Masts are most despicable for tearing the child from her guardian cousins who were the only parents she knew from late infancy when she was orphaned until about 3 years of age. That couple were a married for love union that was further blessed to become guardians of this little baby cousin when they as yet had no children of their own. The Masts already had two sons so presumably knew something about child development, yet they tore a 3 year old child from her loving parents and thrust her into a strange home with people whose appearance and customs were entirely foreign to her and doubtless expect her to behave as though she’s been blessed by their ‘adopting’ her rather than being traumatized as she doubtless was/is.

This case is sickening and it is shameful that the military and state department haven’t done more to rectify this egregious wrong ASAP so that poor little girl can have her real family back.

Its not under military jurisdiction. Its under the court and the courts simply don't care. This happens more often than you think, including with US kids.

Every potential adoptive parent is told by the State Department that you cannot adopt a child from a Muslim country. How did he get a visa or Afghan passport with his last name? Hague convention o adoption which stopped most International adoptions also forbids them s. Somebody’s ready needs to get this case quickly into federal court. If anyone knows who is representing Afghans please le me know. There are many people who could help pro bono

He probably lied or distorted the truth.

Many of these people only want white kids. This is the closest to white they can get. It was quick/easier than a real adoption or there was another reason why they couldn't adopt. I know several shady situations like this and when families fought it the courts sided with the kidnappers.

Of course they do, that's perfectly natural. Wanting a baby that is the same as you is fine, not an indictment, as you're saying.

It seems pretty clear that he used his position to do something dishonest. How is that not under military jurisdiction? Of course there are also federal and civil laws he broke, and his status with the bar should also be in jeopardy.

Joshua Mast needs to be arrested asap.

+1. Couples will do crazy things to adopt a white child.

So this Mast couple is going to get away with stealing a baby?

[Anonymous]

Isn’t this considered a war crime?! WTH!

I don’t understand how an American can obtain a court order in the US to become the guardian and adopt a child who is a foreign citizen, lives abroad and is living with family abroad after parents’ death.

Lots of racists adopt kids of color. Particularly white Christian Domininionist racists who feel "called" to save the poor Black/brown children. Adoptee rights communities of FULL of stories of transracial and international adoptions where the kids of color were treated terribly by their white parents.
