the case of the new Elian wanabe here in Miami?
Ohhh...this is Cristina or Laura Material...
It seems the father, with the help of his trustful attorney, fabricated those letters in his office in Miami. You know, the letters the father had in his possession, which were given to him by the girls' mother, to attest to the fact he maintained a relationship with the daughter (through mail) and telephone.
The wife broke down when the Judge (a woman..jejeje) was able to crack her. If looks could kill....
No se que decirte.....

like I told Diciembre.
if these are fabrications and the father really doesn't give a s*&t about his daughter, then by all means, let her stay here with a family that does give a s*&t about her and wants to adopt her.
it just seems to me there are tons of unanswered questions in this case.
why didn't the father allow the girl to be adopted like her brother?
why did the mother attempt suicide?
etc etc etc
but I'd love to hear, just like Diciembre, try to tell me a child doesn't belong with a Mother and or Father who want them/love them ABOVE every other circumstance.
the Miami party line is that there are no Cuban parents who want their children with them in Cuba because life is too hard, and the kids would be better off in Miami with puppies, Playstations, etc
and anyone who dares not to toe this line is accused of being pressured by Fidel.
Fifo's propaganda purposes aside - to this I say - bullshit.
and I call your bullshit.

The guy CAN'T give his consent for the adoption of the brother cause he is NOT the biological father of the boy. The boy has another father. It's very common in Cuba to have different fathers ya know.
Why did the mother attempt suicide? Who knows. All these Cubans think the moment they enter Miami they have it made. Then reality sets in.
oh.
that fact was never mentioned.
well then his parental rights are nowhere as prominent as Juan Miguel Gonzalez's.
it should be up to the mother. What does she want? is she under pressure? is she even Fkg SANE (considering she attempted suicide?)
how long has the girl lived with the stepfather and how strongly does she identify with him? that question should be explored.
Showing and or proving whether the father had a relationship with the girl should be fairly easy to establish.
If he didn't and this was fabricated, Fk him.
you see, these things are actually very straightforward.
Just like Elian's case was.
Well, I suppose we can forgive you considering you are NOT getting all the facts from your local news channel. How surprising!
Anyhooooooo.....the mother gave the kid up. This is the problem with this country and "adopted and foster" parents' rights.
These organizations want people to take care for the children but when the biological parent (worthless if you gave the kid up), come back to claim their "blood rights", the foster parent gets tossed out the window. No one considers the feelings of the fostser parents.
The father DID NOT maintain a relationship with the daughter. If he had, then those letters would not have to have been fabricated. No cres? He gave his consent for the child to come to this Country in WRITING since the mother came here legally.
What Mr. Cuba is trying to do is to keep the children together. What a worthless man huh?
I'm not following the story, the details aren't being printed here.
My original comment was to the original story, based on the facts the original story told.
if the foster father had no relationship with the kid and those papers are fabricated, then it's an easy and shut/close case.
and I applaud Mr. Cuba or whatever his name is for wanting to also adopt the girl and keep her together with her brother.
or is it half brother?
It is the little girl's half brother, but they have been together (living with Mr. Cuba) since the beginning.
Cubans really aren't into the "step" stereotyping as here in the USA. A step brother is the same as a brother.
The mother was obviously an unfit parent and the father has a new family in Cuba.
Wait, I don't think you are understanding.
The boy is NOT the biological son. The little girl IS the biological daughter of the father. The biological father did NOT maintain a relationship with the daughter he is claiming he did.
If he did, then there would not have been any need for the fabrication of the letters. That attorney will probably lose his license. Good, one less worthless attorney on the planet.

well then the biological father has willingly chosen to forfeit his parental rights and if the letter' etc were forfeit, it's a very easy decision, no?
JM Gonzalez on the other hand, never chose to forfeit his rights.
like I said before, these cases tend to be fairly clear cut, if the facts are known
Custody cases are NEVER easy since there are many people to consider; especially the child's welfare.
Elian's story is a bit more complicated.

nope sorry, Elian's case was crystal clear. certainly LEGALLY.
that's why there were no "complications" in the Federal Courts that oversaw the matter.
It was defeat after defeat for every single legal Miami manouver (and there were tons of them)
(and please don't tell me it was all setup by the US govt, US courts regularly rule AGAINST the govt, aka the executive branch so I'm afraid I can't go along with that conspiracy theory I am sure exists in Miami)
Elian's case would have been far more interesting if he were a lot older, like Walter Polovchak was in the 80's.
then his opinion would have mattered above all.
at six, a child belongs with his biological parents unless they have been declared unfit.
as custody cases as far as I'm concerned should be crystal clear -so long as parents aren't declared unfit.
it doesn't take a Fkg village or court to determine what would be in the best "welfare" of the child.
It takes parents.
The Miami family should never have picked up that kid. They should have done the American Thing and sent him into foster care.
El que crea pero ajeno, pierde el pan y pierde el pero.

foster care?
if a "fit" father wants the kid?
doesn't happen.
Anywhere.
not a single country in the world.
Parental rights to their children transcend all politics, all governments.
if you're referring to this current case.
well - it, in absence of parents, I say people that want to be parents are better than foster care.
