WEST CHESTER, Pa. -- One family's battle to get their foster child back went to the steps of Chester County Courthouse Friday.

Supporters of the Borelly family rallied in West Chester. The couple's 4-year-old foster child, Kevin, was suddenly taken from them this week by a county agency and moved to an adoptive family.
"If we were acceptable from the time he was 2 to the time he was 4, what makes us so unacceptable now?" asked John Borelly, Kevin's foster father.
The Borelly family said they were also frustrated because they were told that the Department of Youth and Families would not take Kevin away until Friday, but then turned up on Wednesday to remove the boy.
Susan Borelly said she is heartbroken.
"I wake up physically ill whenever I think of him going to bed or asking for me," Susan Borelly said.
The Borellys wanted to adopt Kevin, but county regulations say that families can only adopt one child a year. They had already adopted Danielle, Susan and John's niece.
"I love him. We're trying to get him home," said Danielle Borelly.
County officials issued a statement saying they are concerned with trying to find permanent homes for foster children and that they believe another home was more suitable for Kevin. Many people wonder if race was a factor in the decision to remove Kevin from the Borelly home. Kevin is African-American and the Borellys are white.
However, even Kevin's biological grandmother wants him to stay with the Borelly family.
"Kevin has been with that family for two years. He has been doing well. For them to come and snatch him up without notice is wrong and I want him back with his family," said Danielle King.
The Borellys said they would continue to explore all of their legal options. The county commissioners said they are going to launch a full-scale review of the Department of Children Youth and Families because of the incident.

I think think this problem could best be addressed by PETA.
Are these wiggers (or any like them) in your neighborhood?
If it weren't for me, where would I be?
At least their neighbors will know this is not their fault and that they are still enlightened lovers of diversity.

I think the State will eventually give custody of the little chimp back to these disgraceful lemmings. The decision to take the nigger away goes against the message of diversity, multicult, tolerance, and all that other bullshit that is rammed down our throats in today's world.

It is almost like they are saying this black child does not belong with a white family. I thought the only difference was the color of our skin. This is the year 2006. That kind of bigotry and intolerance is shocking!
Of course only a black couple with all of their special gifts could properly teach this child about the uniqueness and splender of the black community, its struggles, and the oppression.
I am confused.

You're on the right page. Reading between the lines the basic moral of this story is "people" believe that it would be in the best interest of this little nigger if he were to be raised by a fellow nigger.
