Chinese Immigrants Lose Custody of Girl
A judge in Memphis declared a Chinese immigrant couple unfit to raise their 5-year-old daughter, leaving her in the custody of the American foster family that has raised the child since shortly after her birth.
Judge Robert Childers issued an order that terminates the parental rights of Shaoqiang and Qin Luo He, who have tried for four years to win back the daughter they put in foster care because of financial hardships.
The judge said it was in the child’s best interest to stay with Jerry and Louise Baker, the family she has come to regard as her own.
