Right now? With what is going on in the U.S.? No, we can't agree with that.

From the article, at the end, one of the Masts testified publicly. Stephanie Mast explained why they kept/are keeping the girl.
"The deciding panel of two lieutenant colonels and a colonel was allowed to ask questions, and one asked Stephanie Mast why she and her husband continued to try to adopt the girl even after she had been reunited with relatives in Afghanistan. They noted that multiple high-ranking officials, including then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a federal judge, told them to stop.
"When she responded that getting the child to the United States was their highest priority, the board asked whether the assumption that a child would be better off in the U.S. rather than Afghanistan was a product of Western bias.
“They have a survival mentality,” she said of Afghans. “We believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And we wanted her to have that.”"
This enrages me.
So that's it? The child's family has no recourse?
She's not wrong...
She's not entitled to her opinion trumping everything else.
