Help bring baby Emily home she has 3 siblings waiting and grieving

The Issue

Baby Emily was placed in the custody of a foster family in Florida awaiting ICPC transfer paperwork to move her to Maryland.  The paperwork was done incorrectly which delayed the process long enough so that the foster parents were awarded custody on the grounds that she was already attached at 6 months.  Her room was ready, her 3 siblings were excited and every day calling her name in their own special way.  My wife, Tina, flew down to Florida with baby Em's 7 year old sister with the intent of bringing her home only to be told she was being awarded custody to the foster parents because she had now been attached to them.  My wife made many attempts to set up visitation so her sister could see her and either ignored or denied a visit when they were in Florida.  When my wife called the Guardian ad litem (GAL) she was told that her siblings would basically just need to get over the fact they will not see her sister.  Note: Laws do not allow using the baby's real name
