When you adopt a kid, can you give it back?

When you adopt a kid, can you give it back?

I saw a story where a woman adopted a kid and 18 months later, decided he wasn’t ” attaching” and gave the kid away, in your oppinion will the kid be better off? Or is what this woman did wrong?

You shouldn’t adopt a child if your not ready for a lifetime commitment

I saw the same story, but I think that idiot lady just f**ked up the chances of that kid getting adopted by someone who actually wanted it. She should be shot!

I haven’t seen that story, but that’s ridiculous. You don’t just pick a kid and wait for him or her to “attach.” ***** sake, they’re a person, if there’s no connection there and you feel that you can’t look after the kid, then don’t adopt.
So, yeah the kid will be better off with someone else, but first things first so I vote #2

Well If it is the same story, I heard the kid was adopted again, but if the lady obviously didnt want him there anymore do you think maybe the kid’s life would have been worse with her?

She probably would have hurt him.

Well, being unwanted by someone who’s meant to be your parent isn’t good for anyone, so I’m glad he was adopted again.

The child will be better off with someone who does want him…. It should never have got to the adoption stage so someone somewhere wasn’t doing there job right.

of course you can give em back, mate ive had 17 so far, but none of were too keen on working in the sweat shop, so i had to keep giving them back and getting better ones.
good help is so hard to find these days.

also, im sure that story and the actual facts are far, far more than the media is reporting or that anyone will ever know, as that is how the media operates. someone has to be vilified, pick the easiest target.
