Dear Adoption Maharishi: Any Update on the FLDS Children in Texas?

Dear Adoption Maharishi,
Any recent updates on the children removed from the YFZ Ranch in April 2008?
-looking for new news
Dear Looking,
Here is a quick summary of past events. April 2008, Texas Child Protective Services raided the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint (FDLS)'s ranch based on a phone call. The caller claimed to be a 16-year old girl. She claimed to be beaten and raped. 475 children were removed from FDLS families.
Texas Polygamist Case Update: FDLS in the News
Finally we have an update on the Texas Polygamist case that may have slipped the minds of many by now since it began all the way back in April. As a quick refresher, the government went into a FLDS sect with high suspicion but little evidence, and took 460 children that they had a hunch were being abused.
Turns out whether or not the children were being abused doesn’t really come into play if you don’t have sufficient evidence, which as we just went over, the police did not, so they began slowly making plans and agreements with the parents to allow some of the children to go back home.

Texas Polygamist Case Continues
It seems so long ago now that the news was flooded with articles about the religious compound
that was raided by authorities in Texas, and the large amount of children who were removed due to suspected involvement in forced arranged underage spiritual marriages.
The world screamed out with cries of injustice on both sides of the fence, their were those who wept for the young girls who were forced into marriages and marital duties with their new husbands, and those who wept over the government tromping on the religious freedoms of those who sought comfort and protection in the polygamist sect; The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, run by Warren Jeffs.
