Yeah but just imagine the internal suffering that poor girl has to go through. As an adoptee myself, I know that I have had to deal with so much extra crap in my life, extra issues, extra identity crises…this girl is going to have a whirlwind of change in her life. Either way the court ruled she still has a long road ahead of her.

The Chinese parents won!! Amazing, and so, so late. I blame all of the ensuing distress of the daughter on the “adoptive” parents – because the Chinese parents never did consent to adoption, and they never legally adopted her. What a travesty.
