Her happy beginning soon turned sour. as Kushis brotherinlaw then sexually and physically abused Kushi. He has since been tried and convicted of that crime. and Washington State officials have placed Kushi in a foster home. Since her parents in Bangladesh have not abandoned her and therefore she is not legally adoptable. and since she is no longer living with relatives. she is threatened with deportation under immigration law. Understandably. Kushi. her new foster parents. and virtually all of her adopted community of Hoqulam.
