The couple got protection on the grounds that the Taliban might go after their family remaining in Afghanistan, but there's no reason to think that's true at all; the Taliban has supported their claim to the child (really, they've unsurprisingly rejected US interference in the case) and they left Afghanistan for medical care, not to flee the Taliban. I think the Masts think if their identity comes out people will come forward with evidence that they are not actually blood-related to the girl.

With the kid in foster care and being taken in by cos, with some distant relative from Afghanistan living in Texas, or being sent back?

An investigative reporter went to Afghanistan and villagers said a foreign terrorist group who were light skinned set up camp in the village. The child who was orphaned had light hair and light-colored eyes, which is often consistent with families from regions like Chechnya or Uzbekista (common origins for foreign Al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan) rather than the local ethnic groups in that specific Afghan province that does not look like the child. If she were orphaned in another part of Afghanistan then it might be more plausible but in that area there aren't blond kids.
It was only months later this relative came forward who refuses to have DNA testing done.
Now add to that the orphan girl has FOUR FULL biological siblings in TEXAS. They ALL refuse to have DNA testing done and not one of them look like the orphan girl with light features.

How is life in Afghanistan relevant. One couple is in VA, and one in TX.
NP. What the VA couple did is wrong, since it sounds like they lied to get what they wanted. It also sounds like the Afghan couple would still be in Afghanistan if Mast hadn’t asked for them to he added to the list.

So Canadians and Europeans should start taking American babies because they have a greater chance of growing up safely there with less fear of violence?
