It should be what is best for the child ..

To give you a little info about the situation ..

A local bussiness owner and a great christian family man who happens to be white. Took in some foster kids .. who happened to be black. He fell in love with all three of them.  He has two other kids of his own and he is raising a grand daughter. Him and his wife fell head over heels in love with these three foster kids. So they filed to adopt them.

The three children had originally came from an abusive home. The father is an alcoholic and a very very abusive man. He had sent the kids and the mother to the hospital many times before the kids were finally removed from the home. The mother was very neglectful and uncaring to them. The kids had reported to the foster agencies that they had been physically, and mentally abused. They reported times where they were locked into small closets .. left un clothed .. went days without eating or being allowed to bathe. The situation was not good for them.

So then they move into this home with this happily married couple who has a few kids with them already. So what they are white .. they LOVE these kids. They have had the boys for almost two years now and just when the final adoption is supposed to go thru it was denied. The biological parents are going to get the boys back.

The couple is crushed ... the kids are crushed .. the extended family .. all crushed and heart broken. These kids had became a part of the family. They wanted to raise them as their own and give them every advantage in life that they possibly could ... they were treating them like they had came from their own flesh and blood. For the courts to say the kids are going back home was a low blow.

What ever happened to the best interest of the child I wonder? I guess they were told the biological parents have the right to object to the adoption. Then another factor I guess was that the kids are black and the family is white.  Why I don't get it ... why would these biological parents be so selfish and greedy as to not let these children have a chance for a better life. A life where they are happy and living well in a house surrounded by love and kindness. Where they have never been harmed or neglected. How selfish I think that mother is to try to take those kids back. How could she? How could the courts allow such things? What is wrong with the world today when an abusive neglectful mother has more rights over a child then someone who has done nothing but love and care for them?

So what they are not 'blood related' sometimes being of their flesh and blood is nothing. these kids were so loved in the home they are in ... why strip them of this? To add to it the family they are with right now is very wealthy ans successful and living a nice stable envioronment. So now the kids will be sent back to the biological mother .. for what? So they can live on public assistance and medicaid? Makes me so sick to think this 'mother' is being so selfish. She is the one who allowed the kids to be taken in the first place ... now when they are doing great she wants to take them back? Uggg

The 'adoptive' family did manage to get visitation rights for the next year to help the kids to adjust back to living with the biological parents and to help the other family members adjust too. he also managed to get the court to approve the children living with him for another two months. So he is going to do all he can to give the kids the time of their lives. So far he's planned a trip to disney world for them. He is afraid once he gives the kids back they won't have much time to 'be kids' anymore.

So thru the heart ache and the tears they are just trying to keep it together. They have told the boys that no matter what .. no matter when .. they will always be there for them.

I just hate the court system for being so stupid ... It should be what is in the best interest of the child ...

Not the selfish biological mother and father. I feel they gave up their rights when they abused those kids.
