FAIRVIEW, Oklahoma - A Fairview couple convicted of child abuse have relinquished their parental rights to four sisters they adopted from a Liberian orphanage.
Ardee Tyler, 53, and Penny Tyler, 47, appeared Wednesday in Major County District Court, officially ending their battle to regain custody of the girls, ages 5-16.
District Attorney Hollis Thorp said it's a case won by no one, because ultimately children have been hurt.
“They didn't provide the type of home the children are entitled to,” Thorp said. “Children are born with the entitlement of having a good home - it doesn't have to be a wealthy one that's completely without problems — but it should be a good home.” FULL STORY
Such a statement coming from a pompous government employee rubs me the wrong way. The adopted kids are now in state foster care, which is 11 to 28 times more dangerous to kids. Everything about adoption of foreign kids is wrong.

| "There are more than half a million children and youth in the U.S. foster care system today. Studies reveal that children are 11 times more likely to be abused in state care than they are in their own homes, and 7 times more likely to die as a result of abuse in the foster care system."-- John Walsh Show April 16, 2003 "As many as 75 percent of all children in foster care, upon leaving the system, will have experienced sexual abuse. One study by Johns Hopkins University found that the rate of sexual abuse within the foster-care system is more than four times as high as in the general population; in group homes, the rate of sexual abuse is more than 28 times that of the general population." --Sexual Abuse: An Epidemic in Foster Care Settings?
