[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This story makes me very sad for the child.  I know the Masts think they are doing the right thing, but I hope the courts get it straightened out and return the child to the relatives.  [/quote]

I’m sure the Masts believe they are, because they’re white, American, evangelical Christians who have claimed that the baby would be in inherent danger to be raised by Muslim Afghani relatives who would likely make her “a child soldier or sex slave”.  The xenophobia, among other things, is incredible.[/quote]
MHiw did the court approve this? Trump-appointed?[/quote]

Yes, international adoption requires state dept involvement, visas, etc.

Very fishy.

And the marine probably thought he would be portrayed as some savior. If he really cared about the baby, he would have brought her and her new (afghan) parents here, and helped settle them as an intact family.[/quote]

This is what I don’t get. The NYTimes article was annoyingly impressionistic about the legal aspects of the case. I don’t understand how a court could issue an adoption decree with minimal objective evidence that the child even existed, much less any biological relatives who could care for her. And the court apparently accepted the verbal testimony that the Afghan government would waive jurisdiction. It all seems totally insane - anyone could do this an effectively steal a child from any jurisdiction. As long as you get the child present in a county where CPS will take possession of them for you.
