[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] 100% this woman is mentally unwell. However, there is exactly ZERO mental health bar for becoming a parent. Lots and lots of mentally ill parents that are parenting today. In the perfect world these two would wake up and allow the foster parents to adopt while keeping the kids in the siblings lives. But she's still mentally unwell so nothing less than owning the children is acceptable.[/quote] In a perfect world the well being of the children (who are now 2 years old and call the foster parents mom and dad) would be the most important consideration. The children have a family already. Ripping them away from the parents they know would be horrible for them. Fraudulently contracting for a surrogate to birth children does not override the consideration of what is best for the children. [/quote] Imagine a world where children are ripped from their actual parents and given to whatever people (richest, WHITEST) a judge feels are most "fit." Are you sure YOU would keep your own kids under that system?[/quote] This woman isn't their actual parent. Their actual parents are the people who took them home from the hospital and have raised them for two years. [/quote] According to surrogacy laws, the older couple ARE the twins legal parents. The foster parents, who are fighting to maintain custody, are FOSTER parents. Who have had them for 2 years while a state goes rogue. Yes, the lady is a nut. She’s committed crimes. Lots of parents commit crimes and get custody of their kids back. Worse than forgery crimes. [/quote] Except that she violated the laws that would have allowed her to take the babies and therefore forfeited that right. Regardless of the letter of the law, these children belong with the foster parents and that's what the court should enforce. [/quote] It’s not more complicated than that. She violated laws, but not ones that would allow her to parent the children. She forged documents, yes, but without her forging those documents the kids wouldn’t exist at all. That doesn’t give the foster parents the right to adopt these twins. And the children have a right to a relationship with their biological siblings, who are being raised by the older couple. [/quote] This is a sad case all around, because the "bio" mom seems pretty nuts. But if not for overreach of a judge, the kids would have gone home with her. Now, however, they have been in the care of a different couple their entire lives which changes the decision-making of the judge. Maybe they are too young to remember the foster parents long term, but it's not clear whether this would be traumatic for them or not. And having different adoptive or foster parents doesn't preclude having a relationship with siblings. It's very common for kids in foster care, actually, to maintain sibling relationships while living in different households. (I guess not really bio mom, since it's a donor egg.)[/quote] It’s not common at all to maintain sibling relationships post adoption. [/quote]
