The following is just one of the reasons why I have a problem with giving Maria back to her "adoptive" parents in this case.
"Both have denied the charges, last week claiming they adopted the child while she was just days old. A defense lawyer said they were motivated by charity after being approached by an intermediary for a destitute foreign mother.
The suspects have also been charged with illegally obtaining official documents such as birth records.
Police allege the Roma woman claimed to have given birth to six children in less than 10 months, while 10 of the 14 children the couple had registered as their own are unaccounted for.
It is unclear whether the children exist or were made up to milk the Greek welfare system. Police say the two suspects received about 2,500 euros ($3,420) a month in subsidies from three different cities."

This is not normal behavior for people that are just trying to do the right thing for the child. This is criminal activity. There have been more several, more than two or three, stories from the "adoptive" parents as to how they came about having Maria. Now I don't care if the "adoptive" parents are Roma, Gypsy, Green Aliens from Mars........the point is they continue to lie and have committed crimes. If there was nothing shady about how Maria came to be their "daughter" then why continue to lie about the whole ordeal, even to their lawyer?!?!
For me this has nothing to do with the Roma or Gypsy culture. It has everything to do with a child that has been ripped from her "family" because of their criminal activities. It also bothers me that because there are those of us that do not feel Maria should be placed with either family that we are somehow not understanding the Roma/Gypsy culture and are wrong in believing that they should be law abiding citizens. Again, this case is about these two families and a child that deserves to be safe and well loved.
MOO
What about her psychological & biological siblings?
