Is anyone else following this case? This story is long so I am just going to link it, but it's very interesting and I am waiting to see how they rule. There is some shady shit going on in VA!

Yeah, this is some baby back bullshit! If they let the US couple keep that baby then I give up on this nation.

and praised it as an act of Christian faith to save her.

Ahhhhh, yes. Christianity coming to save others from themselves again. Because that worked out so well in it's history with colonization and other atrocities.

This screams "White Savior" complex and is even more gross because of the fact that it was American Marines that killed her parents. Now they've stolen her. Nice.

This case is such bullshit!

FUCKING. DICK.

Mast celebrated his adoption of the child, whose Afghan family is Muslim, as an act of Christian faith.

I hate everything about this case.

US Marine’s adoption of Afghan war orphan voided

In a highly unusual ruling, a state court judge on Thursday voided a U.S. Marine’s adoption of an Afghan war orphan, more than a year after he took the little girl away from the Afghan couple raising her. But her future remains uncertain.

For now, the child will stay with Marine Maj. Joshua Mast and his wife, Stephanie, under a temporary custody order they obtained before the adoption. The Masts will have to re-prove to the court that they should be granted a permanent adoption.

Despite the uncertainty, the ruling was a welcome move for the Afghan couple, who had been identified by the Afghan government as the child’s relatives in February 2020 and raised her for 18 months.

If the adoption was voided, that child should be in the custody of her relatives and NOT a kidnapper. WTF. She's growing up with those assholes instead of with her actual family!

All the while you have a little child who is caught in the middle. This is just soooooo sad.

I had the same thought. WTF is she doing still with them? This makes me think they are going to make a big show of it and give them the baby anyway.

They LITERALLY kidnapped the kid. And authorities are letting her stay with them. Blows my mind.

This makes no sense.
