Harry's Law covers touchy adoption vs. birth parents case

We were catching up on our Harry's Law episodes last night. One of the episodes was about a family from China whose second born child was stolen from them by the Chinese government and then put up for adoption. They had been searching for their daughter for 4 years when they finally tracked her down in Ohio where they hired Harry's Law firm to help them get the child back. The child had been with her adoptive parents, who thought they had legally adopted the little girl (they had paid an agency $30,000 for the child) for 4 years. The adoptive family had been told the child's birth parents were dead.

In the end, the judge sided with the adoptive family saying it would be detrimental to the child to take her from her American home and give her back to her real parents in China. Seriously?

I'm so angry about this outcome for so many reason.

First, if you are the family who adopted a child and then found out later that the child really wasn't yours and that her birth parents are actually alive and have been searching for this child for years, wouldn't you at least consider giving the child back to them?

Secondly, I feel so horrible for the birth parents because ... the little girl is their child and they have just been told by an American judge they can't have her back.

OK, OK I know it's just a TV show but it really pushed so many of my buttons and I can't stop thinking about it. Thinking about how I'd feel if the same thing happened to me - if someone took Zoe from me, adopted her out to someone else and then 4 years later told me I couldn't have her back. I also can't stop thinking about how it would feel if I was the adoptive parent. I have this child that I know really belongs to someone else. Someone else who desperately wants her back. I'm attached to the child and love her very much but it would always be in the back of my mind that she wasn't truly my child. I think I'd feel like an awful, selfish person if I kept her.

What would you do?
