I can't believe her adoptive parents got away with child abuse and abandoment just because they're rich and can afford good lawyers.
Shame.

So she’s 20 now and still getting adopted?


you can adopt people until they're 21


You can actually adopt at any age.

The article states a second court ruling upheld her adult age. Definitely an adult who wishes to be cared for like a child. Hope she gets the mental health services she obviously needs.


But doesn’t she need an adoption agency? How did she end up in the system such that she could even be adopted?

The adoptive parents should have to pay a fine, similar to people who start forest fires.


WTF? They didn't know they were "adopting" a mentally-ill adult.

It's not safe for those other adopted kids to live with her.

International adoptees become citizens when they are adopted by US parents (this was not the case prior to 2002). So yes a citizen is entitled to public benefits if warranted.

This really is a bizarre story. Seeing the new adoptive family with all those young children and then hearing the tales from the first adoptive family...wow. I sure hope everything works out in her placement with them.

They were the second family. The very first adoption fell through, then the family with the autistic child adopted her. Then another family camr forward but backed oout at the last minute. This new family is the fourth (unless there were more).


This is not the 4th family. This is the 3rd. They attempted to get guardianship but withdrew the petition when the court ruled that she was an adult (For the 2nd time). She is still living with them.
