After reversing the court order prohibiting the issuance of new Brazilian passports, my children's mother finally applied for new Brazilian passports so that, if the children ever chose, they could visit their Brazilian family. Now, the Federal Police won't issue them to her without the children's physical presence when she picks them up. As everyone knows, this is impossible because they are now in the United States. What makes this utterly ridiculous is that, under Brazilian law, without the new passports, they can't return to Brazil. In other words, Brazil spent over 7 years obstructing their return to the United States. Now, if they ever want to return to visit their family, Brazil is obstructing that too!
