    There’s no mystery she was taken from a Nigerian orphanage where she was either legit abandoned or sold to the or orphanage and trafficked to the UK for money by this couple. They solved the case pretty well and laid it out in the article.

    So they adopted a baby, because the real parent couldn’t care for her, had a stable legal job in Britain, and now the baby lives in foster care, and the parents are in prison and then deported.

    Great Job of the Border Officers! Well done lads.

      The reason for the foster care is stated in the article:

      But a social worker from the Children and Family Court Advisory Service CAFCASS said she believed Lucy had been neglected, underfed and under stimulated.

    It seems like bullshit that they won’t even assess the couple for fitness to adopt the baby. Sure they forged paperwork, but unless they did something else, I don’t see how that disqualifies them.

      Straight from the article: “But a social worker from the Children and Family Court Advisory Service CAFCASS said she believed Lucy had been neglected, underfed and under stimulated.”

      And even if they weren’t abusing the baby, forging documents is more than enough reason to prevent someone from immigrating.
