MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to hear the case of an American couple trying to prevent an 8-year-old girl they raised since infancy from being returned to her Chinese parents.
Jerry and Louise Baker filed their appeal request May 10 to the nation's highest court, asking it to block a Tennessee Supreme Court ruling that ordered the reunion of Anna Mae He with parents Shaoqiang and Qin Luo He.
The request is a long shot, and the U.S. Supreme Court has traditionally left family law disputes to the states, said Bruce Boyer, director of the Loyola University ChildLaw Clinic in Chicago.
