The long and short of it is that the baby daughter of a Guatemalan woman was kidnapped 5 years ago when the girl was only 2 years old. Ultimately this girl ended up getting adopted by a family in Liberty, Missouri, and has lived with them for the past 5 years. The adoptive family had absolutely no idea that the girl had originally been kidnapped...as far as they knew, the adoption was 100% legitimate. DNA testing has confirmed that the girl in question is indeed the daughter of the Guatemalan woman.
Evidently due to technicalities with legislature (as described in the article), it wasn't as simple as "Well we'll just give her right back then."
Soooooooo who does the girl go to? Her biological mother who she has absolutely no memory of (given that she was only 2 years old the last time she saw her mother)? Or the adoptive family she's been living with for the past 5 years who, for all intents and purposes, went through the proper processes to legally adopt her, not knowing she had originally been kidnapped?
