Why are you supporting adoption when you should be doing the right thing and supporting The over 98% of birthmothers who want to keep parent their child they just lack the support and resources to do so. Nobody is entitled to somebody else’s child adoption is not a family building tool because you do not grow your family off of another family that was going through a crisis. The fact that you’re here, trying to facilitate adoptions makes you know better than these human traffickers themselves. You sell human beings for profit.
My Aunt and Uncle took me in at 6 and threw me out at 12 after deciding that I did not fit their family. They told me they tried to find me another home -- how nice? It has taken me a lifetime to get over this and realize I have value on my own. I am 61 now. You take a child or a pet and you commit no matter what -- this is heartbreaking and I fully feel and understand the problem. (BTW my grandmother was pissed at the time even though she rejected me too)
I'm a foster and adoptive parent. I knew about rehoming but had never seen this gross display of human exploitation live like this. I am absolutely HORRIFIED and could never. You don't discard children like they're trash like this. Parents who do this should never EVER be allowed near children again under any circumstance. Disgusting.
You are a legal guardian. As an adult adoptee who also had to deal with dependency court in Jacksonville FL and I also drove emotionally handicapped high schoolers as a school bus driver I know this issue from all sides except those who call themselves a parent without being one, or working for these child trafficking agencies. You only get one mother and father and these are not transferable relationships with money or papers or any other reason. I say this knowing my actual parents were no more a prize than the people I was forced to live with till I was 18.
@@songoftheblackunicorn666 as an adoptee, I respect and I validate your words. I don't dispute that my kids already have a mother and father. They know that, as do I, they have ongoing contact with their fathers and other relatives. I maintain that I am (also) their parent, as I am legally performing parenting duties.
@@lichi1244eva I have performed "parenting" duties on children I have not created as well and I have given birth to children as well. I have even in some cases had an easier time with children who were not mine. To call yourself a parent to children that you did not create invalidates the term mother father and parent. In the middle of this comment I had to stop and take my real 94 year old Grandma to the bathroom because she is demented. She really can't do very much of anything unattended anymore it took me 42 years to find her and some of my family and all I get is a two year old who is sometimes more work than a newborn with far less gratitude. I have a " parenting" role according to you. I am NOT her parent I am her actual Granddaughter I am the wild Seabury grafted back in who despite all of society telling me I cannot be me found out who I was with sealed records and everything. So let me tell you what you are doing with these children and what I have done with my Grandma and a widowers kids and with other people's kids who I drove on my school bus, and the kids who came over from across the neighborhood because their drug addict parents ignored them and a strange woman they didn't know hanging up clothes in a yard that wasn't theirs was safer to them than their own home where if life was fair they should have been safe and belonged. I have been a mother, a school bus driver a potential step mother for years, and I am now a I'm caregiver and secondary medical proxy for my real Grandma who neither cares about me or what I do for her or the fact she gets to.stay in and keep her home only because of my good graces ( without even the care givers stipend 24/7 with only 3 hours off a week). You are a guardian and caregiver and as long as a proper search up to and including third cousins was done by a neutral party who did not make any money for getting these children transferred to your care you are probably good for them. Otherwise they are stolen by the government for your benefit not theirs. You are not their parent though you are a caregiver and if you really care about those kids you will not insist on them living a lie and dismissing who they are just to inflate your own sense of self. What we do as caregivers is not about gaining a title that doesn't belong to us. What we do is because it is the right and loving thing to do and you don't have call yourself something you are not to do that. Go watch Colleen dewhurst and Megan follows in Anne of Green gables as the characters Anne and Marrilla Cuthbert said it best. Anne said "can I call you Aunt Marrilla?" And Marrilla said " I don't believe in calling people names that are not their own." And Marrilla and Mathew raised Anne not as their daughter but as their beloved child in their care, as a wounded little bird who had no one else and they met her where she was at and they did not have to call themselves her parents to do so. The whole thing was total and honest love with no strings attached and no lies either. So continue to care for the children however If you continue to insist you are someone you aren't the lie will continue hurt you and those kids.
This is horrific 😭😭😭 Thank you for shedding light on this. I’m a single woman taking steps to get involved in the lives of children in foster care. You’re right, as believers we have a God-given responsibility to do our part to care for these precious children. I will do my part
My husband and I took in a four week old baby boy and became his foster parents. We adopted him when he was nine months old. He ended up having several developmental disabilities. It was a hard, long journey to get him to adulthood but never would I have ever thought of giving him up.
I I'd no experience people with developmental disabilities befor II worked in a mail room. Then I grew to like them and today count 2 as valued friends. I am very surprised at the bad attitude shown by supposedly adults at these kids. This is as bad as the centuries of abuse of helpless children by the Catholic Church. I am DISGUSTED by this. There needs to be laws against this practice.
As an adoptive parent I can truly say that adoptive parents are not prepared enough nor supported enough later to deal with past trauma induced behavior that might not show up initial or for years. Primordial Wound Syndrome needs to be thoroughly discussed ahead of time and connection to therapy made available, plus more therapists trained to help adoptive families/children deal with the many ways subconscious trauma may be acted out years later, especially the late grade school/middle school years. Luckily, after a couple of years of great stress we were able to find a therapist in our area (this was way before Zoom) who had great knowledge of, training in, and personal experience with adoptees trauma and adoptive families. Before finding her we were all struggling mightly.
Thank you for your honesty. I think this is a subject that most first-time parents who want to adopt a newborn don't really consider because they think a newborn is not as "damaged" as an older child in foster care, but the truth is that any child who is adopted experiences trauma and we need to be equipped to walk with that child through the healing process.
I know I’m coming from a different place because my son is my bio kid but I don’t see a difference whether bio or adopted, that’s your kid. You don’t just “rehome” a kid. I desperately want to foster at some point and help these children. I’m considering becoming a CASA volunteer
This scares me and for good reason. I was adopted into a family with mostly adopted children from bad backgrounds. I am too lucky that me and most of my siblings are well loved and homed with parents who would be outraged by this rehoming pageant monstrosity. I come from a very scary background. I was conceived and born in a mental asylum from a woman with very severe Schizophrenia. No one bothered to find out who my father was nor cared. I had a strong case of ADHD/seizures. GOD IS REAL!! It is thanks to him he had his hand on me before and after I was born and still dose in my adult life. If I was among these children I would be dead. My other siblings come from dark backgrounds as well. But for their sake I have no right in sharing their stories.
The unspoken reality is that some of these kids are so broken from what made them available for the first adoption, that normal families cant handle them. The state agencies lie to make a buck and pretend things are better than they are. The "normal" and ambitiously hopeful family takes in a broken child who harms the other children and pets, guts entire rooms at night, sneaks in to bedrooms to do God knows what while siblings sleep, etc. I have known people in this situation. On the one hand, i think, "You made a commitment. Honor it." On the other hand... When a child is harming pets (and i dont mean physically or emotionally), what do you do?
Wanted to add about 8:30 Bundy said parents need to understand trauma. PREACH!! Well meaning and well intentioned just means an additional layer of psychological harm if you're not prepared to handle trauma.
That is pure evil!! Thank you for shedding light on this! We are currently fostering 2 babies! We love them so much, like our own, I cant imagine doing such a thing!! I will be praying for these children!! I pray they know the love of God, the God that loves them unconditionally and that they know they dont have to act a certain way for God to love them! 🙏 ❤
Wow, I didn’t know it was this bad! 😩 But everytime our adoption agency “features” a child that needs to be “rehomed” it makes me feel sick! Now I know there are extreme cases - I have friend who’s adopted daughter was trying to drown other kids while they were camping (one of many things) but they still didn’t “rehome” her, they sent her to go get special therapy and hopefully she can return home one day! I have 1 daughter adopted from Ghana who was supernaturally healed from HIV, and one daughter from Nigeria who is deaf. Its NOT easy, but I didn’t sign up for an easy life! Also have 2 bio kids, and pursing another child in Nigeria that God is calling us to! So glad I found your channel (we have one also)! ❤️
I worked in child welfare for 8 years during the height of the international adoption boom. My agency was nonprofit and primarily focused on domestic adoption, including foster-adopt, relative adoption, and special needs adoption. We ran into this rehoming issue when people came to us having taken custody of a child from the adoptive parents and wanted us to do home studies and help them adopt these children. What a nightmare! Most of the time the people "rehoming" their children adopted through for profit agencies who did terrible jobs vetting and educating potential adoptive parents, and provided little or no support after placement. They should never been allowed to adopt in the first place, but their money was all the private agency cared about.
I remember in the 1990s there were a huge amount of international adoptions happening from countries of the former Soviet bloc. A lot of these children turned out to have severe behavioural and medical problems, which naive American parents were not aware of. Orphanages couldn't wait to get rid of them, and once they got to the US, they were no longer their birth countries' responsibility. Some of these adoptive parents though were frankly awful. I recall one news story about an American couple who actually got arrested for child abuse when their flight from Russia arrived back in the US, because of the way they treated a pair of 4-year-old twin girls they'd adopted in Russia throughout almost the entire flight: screaming at, hitting, shaking, and threatening them. I don't know what became of those poor kids. And what was even more shocking was how a number of passengers on the plane defended the parents, saying that the children's behaviour was "out of control". There was also a case of a single adoptive mother who took her adopted son BACK to Russia, and left him at the airport with a note attached to him.
My 3siblings and I were adopted from Moldova (the poorest country in Europe) Me and my siblings were called to the office at school and were told that we were leaving school early that Friday to go on a surprise vacation. We went by the house because my adoptive mom said she forgot something and was told to stay in the car. Of course, my other siblings got out and I followed to go to my room only to find it empty. So while I was dropped off at a stranger's home, the rest of the family went on vacation. My older sister and I were in the orphanage together and she attempted suicide many times after I was kicked out of the family at the age of 11. I would say that yes I had behavioral issues but not anything extraordinary or any different than most children. My adoptive mother was extremely controlling, abusive, and not an affectionate person. I would get in trouble for getting water without permission (crazy stuff like that) In the beginning I used to hide food under my pillows and bed because I didn't know when or where my next meal would come from. I also had a lot of trauma from the abuse I endured in the orphanage that was never dealt with (my adoptive mom thought every problem could be solved by shoving medication down our throats, instead of working through them patiently together. It was awful.
I know, it's sick. I've worked with a volunteer-run agency that helped to rescue and rehome cats and kittens; we treated them with far more respect and humanity than these children are treated (I fostered for them and adopted my cat from them). And vetted potential adopters more carefully.
My parents did this. My father was a mentor to another man in AA. This man and his wife had an adopted daughter. They, the adoptive family decided they needed to try their marriage without the child. So my father said he would take her home and give them the "break". All of us my sister, myself and my brother were married, moved on, and had children of our own. We were not consulted. Long story short my parents ended up adopting that girl when the original adoptive parents refused to take her back! My mother was not a good mother to me her birth child! This should never have happened to this child. I always feel bad about what she must have endured. But with all dysfunctional families I have no contact with any of them.
I'm curious why you think your parents should have consulted with you and your siblings if you were all grown , married with kids of your own , living elsewhere etc before they adopted ? Also if your Mother was "Not a good Mother" to you , you felt bad about what she "Must have endured" , did you ever contact anyone about your concerns or did you just leave the child enduring it ?
Thank you for speaking about this. I was a rehomed child too. I was adopted from Russia at six months old and my adoptive parents gave me up at 11 years old. They said they didn't want me anymore and called me ungrateful. My adoptive mom said she regrets adopting me and wished she never chose to adopt me. They became abusive towards me. They even tried to send me back to Russia but instead left me at the hospital with nowhere to go. I was so hurt and confused. That's why many adoptees are against adoption now. Too many of us are adopted only to be disrupted or abused.
I’m so sorry. What a thing to do to a child…the cruelty is just unimaginable. I hope you’ve got a good support system, and I wish you all the luck in the world.
This was one of the first programs I watched on 60 Minutes Australia. They cover things about the US that we would NEVER see on American TV. It’s quite an eye opener.
Most shocking is amount of people rehoming, couple cases is sad, but bound to happen. And then you see whole fare for children trading and done with same mood as cattle market. Absolutely gross
Yes! I was just about to say it looked like a livestock auction. Then they had to "convince" potential parents they were worthy. What is that teaching these children? This is so freaking disgusting.
I don't understand why they don't have a rule in any adoption agency that says if you no longer want the child, you must return only to them. Even dog and cat breeders have this rule so their animals do not end up in shelters. I don't understand how this can be legal.
Watching this clip really reminds me of how cruel and messed up this world is. This video really makes me think about how much I need to count my blessings.
Thank you for sharing this. Although, this is extremely disturbing & cruel. I am glad that this is being exposed. It is a horrible practice and so damaging. Something has to change. I don’t have the answer but this is so shocking and makes me so sad.
Please, please someone tell Frank that he is obviously one of the people who are too special for the average family. Frank hold out for an exceptionally special family. You deserve it.
Am I the only one who noticed that not one of those children were under the age of 9?! It's disgusting that these so called adopters think they can just give that child back once they're "too old to make ME look good in pictures" or "they're not being grateful enough for the fact I'VE saved them from the system" (because let's face it, that's exactly what went through these monsters' mind) and worse it's legal!
Guess what would happen if you force the parents to keep an unwanted child. We know the answer because we have seen it happen even with biological children. And we are the first to say if you don't want the kids why don't you give him up for adoption? I agree with you but and I think it should be legal to rehome them under the state guidance to prevent further abuse, murder ect.
@@maya-dn9fl Actually, I like your suggestion. It should be heavily regulated and supervised, provided it's done within a year to 18 months after the initial adoption is finalized. NOT 6-7 YEARS after the fact.
It’s unbelievable that these people do something like this to these kids ! They adopt children and then they give them away because they “don’t fit” in their families anymore! If someone is adopting a child this person should be aware that this should be a commitment for life and that kids are not goods that you can buy and sell when you don’t like them anymore ! This is unbelievable and makes my angry!
I wish my adoptive parents had rehomed me...i was a complicated but good kid adopted before 6 months old and i was sent to boarding school by age 10 i begged my adoptive mom to give me to a country family ... i never felt like i had a family .. i was a black market baby bought and sold in the 60s ..so some kids probly would rather be rehomed than spend thier entire childhood being unloved and emotinally abused or worse... i dont hate adoption but i hate when people turn a blind eye or like my parebts they did not want the embarrassment of giving their adopted child to a new family.
I think if there was a better way to solve the problem the adoptive parents would use it, but there are not a lot of choices for parents (whether by birth or adoption) who have children they can't control. You can't just drop them off at CPS. Also, it is incorrect to say that fostering lets you know the child well enough to confidently predict the future. You can find all sorts of youtube videos of psychopaths who murder their friends or family and the victims knew the person for years or their entire lives without realizing the danger. Foster and adoptive parents are murdered every year by the children. My sister was horrifically murdered by her brother-in-law's foster son. I had foster children who wiped poop on the walls, started a fire in the house, could go from being sweet kids to scary-as-f, etc. A rich person can just get a nanny or send the kid to military boarding school, but regular adoptive parents are woefully unsupported. And even tho the video of the kids being introduced was kind of shocking, it is not really all that different from the adoptive picnics that happen all the time for foster kids. Also, encouraging people to feel guilty if they don't adopt a child (due to an interpretation of your religion or other reason) is BAD, the foster system doesn't want parents who are motivated by wanting to 'save' a child or 'do the righteous thing', the kids need parents who wholeheartedly want to be a parent.
I recently found out this is real and is happening every day. It broke my heart. 😢 💔 I adopted half of my children from foster care. They are my babies every bit as much as my bio children. My adopted babies all had drug addicted mothers and have their challenges, but they are my babies, and I love them beyond words. The 2 still at home will be fabulous adults just like their 4 grown siblings.
This video correctly identifies a serious issue in adoption in the US; the fact that, once an adoptive parent has legal parenthood of a child, if they decide they no longer want to parent that child they can simply sign them over to some shady private "rehoming" agency that assures them it will find a "good home" for the child, for a fee, of course. They can do this with biological children too of course, but of course the almost never do. They don't actually have to relinquish the child to public welfare services if they can't or don't want to look after the child anymore, if they have the money to go to a private alternative that will just take their money and take their child, no questions asked. A public state-run or federally-run agency, or a non-profit religious charity that works under government auspices, will generally not take the child immediately because they see removing a child from a family as a last resort, so are more likely to recommend counselling, parenting courses, or temporary wardship, and strongly discourage permanently surrendering a child, because the public system is always swamped with foster children and far more of them than there are suitable adoptive parents for. These "agencies" exist for one purpose only, to collect throwaway adopted children who've failed to meet their adoptive parents' expectations. I don't understand how potential adoptive parents could sit there at an event like that and not feel ashamed. It's like an auction or a meat market. They know all those children have been cruelly discarded, not only by their birth parents but by other so-called "adoptive" parents too, and now they're just evaluating their worth to them. How many of them are actually abusers or child traffickers?
I've seen this documentary. There is another documentary that's a few years older where people were doing this with adopted children from other countries. They were doing this on Yahoo groups. Pretty sick and scary stuff.
I'm have so many emotions right now! This is CRUEL! These kids are growning up and will have psychological problems!I'm furious! I'm heart-broken! This is HORRIBLE!
Its ashamed that a child has to prove they are worthy to be adopted, Something is wrong with this, i think people that want to adopt should have to prove worthy
There have been a couple of episodes of the TV series Law and Order SVU about “rehomed” adopted kids and the shady private agencies that claim they’ll find good new homes for them; they were shocking. No parent should ever be allowed to hand their child over to complete strangers, but it seems it’s perfectly legal as long as you dot all your i’s and cross all your t’s. As long as you’re the legal parent, as an adoptive parent is, you can basically hire a lawyer to draw up papers and hand the child over to whoever you want to, then the kid is permanently out of your hair. It’s sick and evil.
I had heard about this years ago and am so disgusted that the loopholes have not been closed! HOW can this POSSIBLY be “legal”?!?! Outrageous!!! 😡 There Ned’s to be legislation.
No, I believe this entire episode was about what is going on in the US. I'm pretty sure those sorts of runway things/slave auctions would be illegal here.
There's always contraception. Nobody "forces" someone to have a child they don't want, unless they actually force them to have s*x. And that's already illegal.
I had a friend who was adopted from South America along with her little brother. She was sexually abused by her adopted father who said if she told anyone he would send her brother away.
This is absolutely disgusting! I feel sick to my stomach seeing those children literally walking down a runway to sell themselves to a bunch of strangers 😭 I'm SURE some of the "new parents" are really sweet people who honestly wants to help the children, but what about the ones that aren't? The ones that should never have access to ANY child? I've never liked children particularly much, I don't have much of maternal instinct, and even I would NEVER leave a child who had been in my care for however short amount of time, with a STRANGER I knew nothing about! I just can't comprehend how an ADOPTIVE PARENT could just give THEIR CHILD away?! I had severe anxiety and were panicking over the thought of maybe having to return a puppy a few days after I've gotten him (luckily things went my way and I could keep him), imagine A CHILD?!
The positive in rehoming a child could be a lifesaver if the parents are abusing and neglecting the child, like are seeing in the news daily. Instead, they could 'give' the child to someone that would love the child and care for them.
Is any of this true? The original video doesn’t mention or link any kind of sources. And if it is what state was the video taken in? This isn’t something that happens all around America there must be some state or city with slightly different rules/policies that makes this “legal”. If it is true it’s still illegal under The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997, The Adoption and Child Welfare Act of 1980, The Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000, State Adoption Laws and Regulations. “State laws prevent the illegal transfer of children between families and require that adoptions be handled through legal, regulated processes. Any informal transfer of a child between families, especially without legal consent, violates these state laws.”
@@jenniferburns2530: Oh! Unbelievable! That is appalling. I don't think you could do it in Australia. Clearly there are some very significant gaps in child protection laws.
@@jenniferburns2530 Yes, but in reality it’s almost always done only with adopted children, because frankly it’s always going to be easier for parents to give up on a difficult child who isn’t biologically theirs, especially a child they didn’t raise from infancy, because they’re not bonded with the child in the same way. Blood is thicker than water, but it’s not just about blood, but bonding. That’s what makes it harder and harder for kids in the foster care system, the older they get. It’s a harsh reality of adoption that isn’t often addressed. Nature in a way gives us this long infancy for our own good, so our parents can’t help but fall in love with us to the point that, even when we get older and bigger and no longer so cute and lovable, they can’t stop loving and caring about us because in a way they’ll always see us as their “babies”. Kids in the system are robbed of that kind of primal bond with parents. Adoptive parents of older children can go into it with the best possible intentions, but they can never fully make up for what was lost. Not that I’m excusing the ones who throw away adoptive kids like defective merchandise; it’s appalling. But it’s understandable why this kind of thing happens only to adopted kids.
5:21 Excuse me, but as an adopted child at 3 myself, with numerous issues due to severe abuse, neglect & other things, my mom NEVER even rhought about returning me & i put her through A LOT ..... Saying that,... HOW THE BLOODY F#@K,... Can THIS be LEGAL?????
Horrible. Scarring for life. But if you think about it, this happens with people in a lot of divorce situation; saying you want to make someone legally part of your family, so you marry them and promise them your devotion, and then deciding someone else would fit your wants better, and so you let that person go and then they go on dating websites and try to find another spouse that will take them. but if a kid goes through this...man, I don't know how he or she would be able to recover from that and form any trusting relationships as an adult.
I find this very sad that a lot of children just treated like this property and a lot of single people Don't Want To have children. Is for the same reason nobody wants these children
This is horrifying. Is there any way to help the children IN this horrible situation? Obviously it seems wrong to go such an event even if your home would be safe. Does anyone know a legitimate way to help kids who are in the process of being “rehomed”?
Wtf am I watching...as an adopted child I'm absolutely disgusted! These people sitting here making them put themselves on display and perform some monkey circus to beg for adoption...all need looked into. If they don't see an issue with how this can screw these kids up even more than they aren't worthy of having a child. The fact this is how they choose to do literally a dog show for adoption. Animal shelters do this... since when did it become okay for it to be used for children?! Everyone involved in it needs investigated.
Wow, they should fined heavily for doing such a thing at the very least. The child when he/she turns 18 should get that money directly to help them cope with the bs they went through from adoptive parents who were fail people. There will be more sad stories like this as the abortion crisis forces more unsuitable to be parents to have children they can't care for.
I want them all! 😢 my mother, may her memory be a blessing, wanted to adopt children from every nation. She use to say she wanted to have Gods rainbow 🌈. She was always running around with some ones baby on her hips lol
Re-homing will not work at all. Such children are grown, they have their own preferences. They had bad experiences and so will be their behavior mostly that can be detrimental to the family adopting them. Instead those wealthy or the family wish to adopt such children should fund children for rehabilitation first, assess what is best and worse in them, get them in to education or fine arts where they have real passion and bring out the best in them and improve their lives, only then a good alignment will take place between re-home parents and adopted child, otherwise the connect between them is impossible
it looks like those slave markets or prostitutes markets ! Shame to those people who do organise all this. Shame to the people who adopt a kid like they woukd adopt a disposable puppy . poor children. And thanks to the good People who still want to believe in love that those youngters need.
Thanks for watching. Join the Kingdom Adoption community: bit.ly/join-circle-1
I’d love to join the community, but I don’t see a link. Can you share?
Why are you supporting adoption when you should be doing the right thing and supporting The over 98% of birthmothers who want to keep parent their child they just lack the support and resources to do so. Nobody is entitled to somebody else’s child adoption is not a family building tool because you do not grow your family off of another family that was going through a crisis. The fact that you’re here, trying to facilitate adoptions makes you know better than these human traffickers themselves. You sell human beings for profit.

This is absolutely chilling. This is literally trafficking.
The first time around it is trafficking too. How many of us die every year because we have no medical history.
It is. It reminds me of street pr*st*tution. They have to parade past groups of spectators and try to sell themselves.
Most definitely
My Aunt and Uncle took me in at 6 and threw me out at 12 after deciding that I did not fit their family. They told me they tried to find me another home -- how nice? It has taken me a lifetime to get over this and realize I have value on my own. I am 61 now. You take a child or a pet and you commit no matter what -- this is heartbreaking and I fully feel and understand the problem. (BTW my grandmother was pissed at the time even though she rejected me too)
Don’t be hard on yourself, you were 12 ❤
Treating pet and child adoption as the same thing is some dark stuff
I’m sorry this happened to you. You deserved better. Hopefully you didn’t let their toxicity poison your life mantras.
I'm a foster and adoptive parent. I knew about rehoming but had never seen this gross display of human exploitation live like this. I am absolutely HORRIFIED and could never. You don't discard children like they're trash like this. Parents who do this should never EVER be allowed near children again under any circumstance. Disgusting.
You are a legal guardian. As an adult adoptee who also had to deal with dependency court in Jacksonville FL and I also drove emotionally handicapped high schoolers as a school bus driver I know this issue from all sides except those who call themselves a parent without being one, or working for these child trafficking agencies. You only get one mother and father and these are not transferable relationships with money or papers or any other reason. I say this knowing my actual parents were no more a prize than the people I was forced to live with till I was 18.

I have been a mother, a school bus driver a potential step mother for years, and I am now a I'm caregiver and secondary medical proxy for my real Grandma who neither cares about me or what I do for her or the fact she gets to.stay in and keep her home only because of my good graces ( without even the care givers stipend 24/7 with only 3 hours off a week). You are a guardian and caregiver and as long as a proper search up to and including third cousins was done by a neutral party who did not make any money for getting these children transferred to your care you are probably good for them. Otherwise they are stolen by the government for your benefit not theirs. You are not their parent though you are a caregiver and if you really care about those kids you will not insist on them living a lie and dismissing who they are just to inflate your own sense of self. What we do as caregivers is not about gaining a title that doesn't belong to us. What we do is because it is the right and loving thing to do and you don't have call yourself something you are not to do that. Go watch Colleen dewhurst and Megan follows in Anne of Green gables as the characters Anne and Marrilla Cuthbert said it best. Anne said "can I call you Aunt Marrilla?" And Marrilla said " I don't believe in calling people names that are not their own." And Marrilla and Mathew raised Anne not as their daughter but as their beloved child in their care, as a wounded little bird who had no one else and they met her where she was at and they did not have to call themselves her parents to do so. The whole thing was total and honest love with no strings attached and no lies either. So continue to care for the children however If you continue to insist you are someone you aren't the lie will continue hurt you and those kids.
Even I wouldn’t think of doing anything like this to kids either. And I am considering adopting a baby.
This is horrific 😭😭😭 Thank you for shedding light on this. I’m a single woman taking steps to get involved in the lives of children in foster care. You’re right, as believers we have a God-given responsibility to do our part to care for these precious children. I will do my part
My husband and I took in a four week old baby boy and became his foster parents. We adopted him when he was nine months old. He ended up having several developmental disabilities. It was a hard, long journey to get him to adulthood but never would I have ever thought of giving him up.
Adopt me
I
I'd no experience people with developmental disabilities befor II worked in a mail room. Then I grew to like them and today count 2 as valued friends. I am very surprised at the bad attitude shown by supposedly adults at these kids. This is as bad as the centuries of abuse of helpless children by the Catholic Church. I am DISGUSTED by this. There needs to be laws against this practice.
This looks like an auction. I have been to auctions (buying horses) this is what they do parade the horses around to get bids. This is sad.😢
Yup and animal shelters do it during adoption days basically. I've seen it constantly at livestock auctions. This is how they treat the children...
My observations are exactly like yours. I'm angry right now. I wish I could take one of these kids myself!!
What in the world?! 😮 I had no idea this even happens. Thank you Lucrece for shedding light on this!
Yes it's so sickening that people actually do this.
Wow, I’m so sad for these kids. They deserve so much better
As an adoptive parent I can truly say that adoptive parents are not prepared enough nor supported enough later to deal with past trauma induced behavior that might not show up initial or for years. Primordial Wound Syndrome needs to be thoroughly discussed ahead of time and connection to therapy made available, plus more therapists trained to help adoptive families/children deal with the many ways subconscious trauma may be acted out years later, especially the late grade school/middle school years. Luckily, after a couple of years of great stress we were able to find a therapist in our area (this was way before Zoom) who had great knowledge of, training in, and personal experience with adoptees trauma and adoptive families. Before finding her we were all struggling mightly.
Thank you for your honesty. I think this is a subject that most first-time parents who want to adopt a newborn don't really consider because they think a newborn is not as "damaged" as an older child in foster care, but the truth is that any child who is adopted experiences trauma and we need to be equipped to walk with that child through the healing process.
I know I’m coming from a different place because my son is my bio kid but I don’t see a difference whether bio or adopted, that’s your kid. You don’t just “rehome” a kid. I desperately want to foster at some point and help these children. I’m considering becoming a CASA volunteer
This scares me and for good reason. I was adopted into a family with mostly adopted children from bad backgrounds. I am too lucky that me and most of my siblings are well loved and homed with parents who would be outraged by this rehoming pageant monstrosity.
I come from a very scary background. I was conceived and born in a mental asylum from a woman with very severe Schizophrenia. No one bothered to find out who my father was nor cared. I had a strong case of ADHD/seizures. GOD IS REAL!! It is thanks to him he had his hand on me before and after I was born and still dose in my adult life. If I was among these children I would be dead.
My other siblings come from dark backgrounds as well. But for their sake I have no right in sharing their stories.
wow, you have come so far, friend. that's some incredible strength. keep at it! ❤
The unspoken reality is that some of these kids are so broken from what made them available for the first adoption, that normal families cant handle them. The state agencies lie to make a buck and pretend things are better than they are. The "normal" and ambitiously hopeful family takes in a broken child who harms the other children and pets, guts entire rooms at night, sneaks in to bedrooms to do God knows what while siblings sleep, etc. I have known people in this situation. On the one hand, i think, "You made a commitment. Honor it." On the other hand... When a child is harming pets (and i dont mean physically or emotionally), what do you do?
Wanted to add about 8:30 Bundy said parents need to understand trauma. PREACH!! Well meaning and well intentioned just means an additional layer of psychological harm if you're not prepared to handle trauma.
I would love to adopt a child but I am a single woman and Florida makes it difficult for regular good people like me.
You could always foster to adopt
Welcome to Massachusetts!
Same here, but to adopt a child as a single in Germany is nearly impossible even fostering is !
The amount of child m'lesters who probably get their hands on vulnerable children through this rehoming thing is probably astronomic.
Exactly 💯 I was thinking the same thing
I first heard about the term "rehoming" an adopted child from the myka Stauffer scandal. Thank you for expanding upon what that whole situation means.
Hi
Oh my word!!!! 😭😭 I did not know that this happens. I am heart broken 💔
This is exactly what I was going to post too.😢
That is pure evil!! Thank you for shedding light on this!
We are currently fostering 2 babies! We love them so much, like our own, I cant imagine doing such a thing!! I will be praying for these children!!
I pray they know the love of God, the God that loves them unconditionally and that they know they dont have to act a certain way for God to love them! 🙏 ❤
Wow, I didn’t know it was this bad! 😩 But everytime our adoption agency “features” a child that needs to be “rehomed” it makes me feel sick! Now I know there are extreme cases - I have friend who’s adopted daughter was trying to drown other kids while they were camping (one of many things) but they still didn’t “rehome” her, they sent her to go get special therapy and hopefully she can return home one day!
I have 1 daughter adopted from Ghana who was supernaturally healed from HIV, and one daughter from Nigeria who is deaf. Its NOT easy, but I didn’t sign up for an easy life! Also have 2 bio kids, and pursing another child in Nigeria that God is calling us to! So glad I found your channel (we have one also)! ❤️
I worked in child welfare for 8 years during the height of the international adoption boom. My agency was nonprofit and primarily focused on domestic adoption, including foster-adopt, relative adoption, and special needs adoption. We ran into this rehoming issue when people came to us having taken custody of a child from the adoptive parents and wanted us to do home studies and help them adopt these children. What a nightmare! Most of the time the people "rehoming" their children adopted through for profit agencies who did terrible jobs vetting and educating potential adoptive parents, and provided little or no support after placement. They should never been allowed to adopt in the first place, but their money was all the private agency cared about.
I remember in the 1990s there were a huge amount of international adoptions happening from countries of the former Soviet bloc. A lot of these children turned out to have severe behavioural and medical problems, which naive American parents were not aware of. Orphanages couldn't wait to get rid of them, and once they got to the US, they were no longer their birth countries' responsibility. Some of these adoptive parents though were frankly awful. I recall one news story about an American couple who actually got arrested for child abuse when their flight from Russia arrived back in the US, because of the way they treated a pair of 4-year-old twin girls they'd adopted in Russia throughout almost the entire flight: screaming at, hitting, shaking, and threatening them. I don't know what became of those poor kids. And what was even more shocking was how a number of passengers on the plane defended the parents, saying that the children's behaviour was "out of control". There was also a case of a single adoptive mother who took her adopted son BACK to Russia, and left him at the airport with a note attached to him.
My 3siblings and I were adopted from Moldova (the poorest country in Europe) Me and my siblings were called to the office at school and were told that we were leaving school early that Friday to go on a surprise vacation. We went by the house because my adoptive mom said she forgot something and was told to stay in the car. Of course, my other siblings got out and I followed to go to my room only to find it empty. So while I was dropped off at a stranger's home, the rest of the family went on vacation. My older sister and I were in the orphanage together and she attempted suicide many times after I was kicked out of the family at the age of 11. I would say that yes I had behavioral issues but not anything extraordinary or any different than most children. My adoptive mother was extremely controlling, abusive, and not an affectionate person. I would get in trouble for getting water without permission (crazy stuff like that) In the beginning I used to hide food under my pillows and bed because I didn't know when or where my next meal would come from. I also had a lot of trauma from the abuse I endured in the orphanage that was never dealt with (my adoptive mom thought every problem could be solved by shoving medication down our throats, instead of working through them patiently together. It was awful.
I've heard of this for dogs, but not kids, that's appalling.
I know, it's sick. I've worked with a volunteer-run agency that helped to rescue and rehome cats and kittens; we treated them with far more respect and humanity than these children are treated (I fostered for them and adopted my cat from them). And vetted potential adopters more carefully.
My parents did this. My father was a mentor to another man in AA. This man and his wife had an adopted daughter. They, the adoptive family decided they needed to try their marriage without the child. So my father said he would take her home and give them the "break". All of us my sister, myself and my brother were married, moved on, and had children of our own. We were not consulted. Long story short my parents ended up adopting that girl when the original adoptive parents refused to take her back! My mother was not a good mother to me her birth child! This should never have happened to this child. I always feel bad about what she must have endured. But with all dysfunctional families I have no contact with any of them.
I'm curious why you think your parents should have consulted with you and your siblings if you were all grown , married with kids of your own , living elsewhere etc before they adopted ? Also if your Mother was "Not a good Mother" to you , you felt bad about what she "Must have endured" , did you ever contact anyone about your concerns or did you just leave the child enduring it ?
@@shari9721 we did contact authorities about our concerns, my sister, myself and my brother. As usual authorities did nothing.
Thank you for speaking about this. I was a rehomed child too. I was adopted from Russia at six months old and my adoptive parents gave me up at 11 years old. They said they didn't want me anymore and called me ungrateful. My adoptive mom said she regrets adopting me and wished she never chose to adopt me. They became abusive towards me. They even tried to send me back to Russia but instead left me at the hospital with nowhere to go. I was so hurt and confused. That's why many adoptees are against adoption now. Too many of us are adopted only to be disrupted or abused.
I’m so sorry. What a thing to do to a child…the cruelty is just unimaginable. I hope you’ve got a good support system, and I wish you all the luck in the world.
That first scene looks like a slave auction.
Without reading down through the comments first, I made much the same comment.
@@terryhenderson424: Me too!
It feels like a sale or like rehoming a pet... children deserve so much more dignity, love and respect.
This was one of the first programs I watched on 60 Minutes Australia. They cover things about the US that we would NEVER see on American TV. It’s quite an eye opener.
Most shocking is amount of people rehoming, couple cases is sad, but bound to happen. And then you see whole fare for children trading and done with same mood as cattle market. Absolutely gross
Yes! I was just about to say it looked like a livestock auction. Then they had to "convince" potential parents they were worthy. What is that teaching these children? This is so freaking disgusting.
Am I the only one who thought that that parade looked like a slave auction - but with the slaves coopted into parading themselves.
Most disheartening and disturbing thing I ever seen: kids having to walk out like runway models and being exploited is sad 😢.
I don't understand why they don't have a rule in any adoption agency that says if you no longer want the child, you must return only to them. Even dog and cat breeders have this rule so their animals do not end up in shelters. I don't understand how this can be legal.
I wouldn't return at all. We would work something else out, but not give up.
Watching this clip really reminds me of how cruel and messed up this world is. This video really makes me think about how much I need to count my blessings.
This is awful. Bless you for sharing. Prayers for you as you work with others. I can't help due to disabilities but I wish I could.
This is sick. Children are not commodities or property for trading. 😢😢😢
It is chillingly easy for these children to end up in trafficking!
Thank you for sharing this. Although, this is extremely disturbing & cruel. I am glad that this is being exposed. It is a horrible practice and so damaging. Something has to change. I don’t have the answer but this is so shocking and makes me so sad.
Please, please someone tell Frank that he is obviously one of the people who are too special for the average family. Frank hold out for an exceptionally special family. You deserve it.
Who knows what this dude did to Frank while he had him for 6 months he could be a predator this is discussting
Am I the only one who noticed that not one of those children were under the age of 9?! It's disgusting that these so called adopters think they can just give that child back once they're "too old to make ME look good in pictures" or "they're not being grateful enough for the fact I'VE saved them from the system" (because let's face it, that's exactly what went through these monsters' mind) and worse it's legal!
It’s absolutely despicable.
Guess what would happen if you force the parents to keep an unwanted child. We know the answer because we have seen it happen even with biological children. And we are the first to say if you don't want the kids why don't you give him up for adoption? I agree with you but and I think it should be legal to rehome them under the state guidance to prevent further abuse, murder ect.
@@maya-dn9fl Actually, I like your suggestion. It should be heavily regulated and supervised, provided it's done within a year to 18 months after the initial adoption is finalized. NOT 6-7 YEARS after the fact.
How can I adopt one of these teens and thereby help and at the same time not be a part of this horrific problem?
It’s unbelievable that these people do something like this to these kids ! They adopt children and then they give them away because they “don’t fit” in their families anymore! If someone is adopting a child this person should be aware that this should be a commitment for life and that kids are not goods that you can buy and sell when you don’t like them anymore ! This is unbelievable and makes my angry!
I wish my adoptive parents had rehomed me...i was a complicated but good kid adopted before 6 months old and i was sent to boarding school by age 10 i begged my adoptive mom to give me to a country family ... i never felt like i had a family .. i was a black market baby bought and sold in the 60s ..so some kids probly would rather be rehomed than spend thier entire childhood being unloved and emotinally abused or worse... i dont hate adoption but i hate when people turn a blind eye or like my parebts they did not want the embarrassment of giving their adopted child to a new family.
This is incredible,and should be illegal! Children are human beings and should be treated in a much better way, unbelievable!
I think if there was a better way to solve the problem the adoptive parents would use it, but there are not a lot of choices for parents (whether by birth or adoption) who have children they can't control. You can't just drop them off at CPS. Also, it is incorrect to say that fostering lets you know the child well enough to confidently predict the future. You can find all sorts of youtube videos of psychopaths who murder their friends or family and the victims knew the person for years or their entire lives without realizing the danger. Foster and adoptive parents are murdered every year by the children. My sister was horrifically murdered by her brother-in-law's foster son. I had foster children who wiped poop on the walls, started a fire in the house, could go from being sweet kids to scary-as-f, etc. A rich person can just get a nanny or send the kid to military boarding school, but regular adoptive parents are woefully unsupported.
And even tho the video of the kids being introduced was kind of shocking, it is not really all that different from the adoptive picnics that happen all the time for foster kids.
Also, encouraging people to feel guilty if they don't adopt a child (due to an interpretation of your religion or other reason) is BAD, the foster system doesn't want parents who are motivated by wanting to 'save' a child or 'do the righteous thing', the kids need parents who wholeheartedly want to be a parent.
I recently found out this is real and is happening every day. It broke my heart. 😢 💔
I adopted half of my children from foster care. They are my babies every bit as much as my bio children. My adopted babies all had drug addicted mothers and have their challenges, but they are my babies, and I love them beyond words. The 2 still at home will be fabulous adults just like their 4 grown siblings.
This is so evil!!!
This video correctly identifies a serious issue in adoption in the US; the fact that, once an adoptive parent has legal parenthood of a child, if they decide they no longer want to parent that child they can simply sign them over to some shady private "rehoming" agency that assures them it will find a "good home" for the child, for a fee, of course. They can do this with biological children too of course, but of course the almost never do. They don't actually have to relinquish the child to public welfare services if they can't or don't want to look after the child anymore, if they have the money to go to a private alternative that will just take their money and take their child, no questions asked. A public state-run or federally-run agency, or a non-profit religious charity that works under government auspices, will generally not take the child immediately because they see removing a child from a family as a last resort, so are more likely to recommend counselling, parenting courses, or temporary wardship, and strongly discourage permanently surrendering a child, because the public system is always swamped with foster children and far more of them than there are suitable adoptive parents for. These "agencies" exist for one purpose only, to collect throwaway adopted children who've failed to meet their adoptive parents' expectations. I don't understand how potential adoptive parents could sit there at an event like that and not feel ashamed. It's like an auction or a meat market. They know all those children have been cruelly discarded, not only by their birth parents but by other so-called "adoptive" parents too, and now they're just evaluating their worth to them. How many of them are actually abusers or child traffickers?
I've seen this documentary. There is another documentary that's a few years older where people were doing this with adopted children from other countries. They were doing this on Yahoo groups. Pretty sick and scary stuff.
I'm have so many emotions right now! This is CRUEL! These kids are growning up and will have psychological problems!I'm furious! I'm heart-broken! This is HORRIBLE!
Its ashamed that a child has to prove they are worthy to be adopted, Something is wrong with this, i think people that want to adopt should have to prove worthy
This act of rehoming is appalling to me and makes my heart SO sad for these kids. 😢
There have been a couple of episodes of the TV series Law and Order SVU about “rehomed” adopted kids and the shady private agencies that claim they’ll find good new homes for them; they were shocking. No parent should ever be allowed to hand their child over to complete strangers, but it seems it’s perfectly legal as long as you dot all your i’s and cross all your t’s. As long as you’re the legal parent, as an adoptive parent is, you can basically hire a lawyer to draw up papers and hand the child over to whoever you want to, then the kid is permanently out of your hair. It’s sick and evil.
Hi
That’s exactly what CPS does in America.. abolish the agency for crimes committed against humanity
I had heard about this years ago and am so disgusted that the loopholes have not been closed! HOW can this POSSIBLY be “legal”?!?! Outrageous!!! 😡 There Ned’s to be legislation.
What the h*ll is this?! Children paraded. The guy was hawking at the young boy in a predatory way.
Exactly 💯 I saw that this is so wrong that poor boy
This is horrible!
Yes it is sickening
Holy crap.... this is heart breaking 😭 and you're right, absolutely EVIL!
I have seen as a dss worker. It's horrible. They say we don't tell them about the child's behavior but we do.
The runway scenes from Australia reminds me of what we hear of the US African American slave trade auction blocks.
No, I believe this entire episode was about what is going on in the US. I'm pretty sure those sorts of runway things/slave auctions would be illegal here.
@@resourcedragon Well, they should be illegal every where by gosh. The whole thing of private, parent to parent, re-homing should be illegal.
Is this still happening? How is this legal?
Forcing people to have children they don't/can't want through making abortion illegal is only going to make this worse.
There's always contraception. Nobody "forces" someone to have a child they don't want, unless they actually force them to have s*x. And that's already illegal.
In Germany this would neither be possible Nor legal.
I had a friend who was adopted from South America along with her little brother. She was sexually abused by her adopted father who said if she told anyone he would send her brother away.
HEARTLESS
Thank you for sharing this information
It’s like a legalized slave auction.
This is heartbreaking
I just dont understand why this is still legal... It is shameful.
This is absolutely disgusting! I feel sick to my stomach seeing those children literally walking down a runway to sell themselves to a bunch of strangers 😭 I'm SURE some of the "new parents" are really sweet people who honestly wants to help the children, but what about the ones that aren't? The ones that should never have access to ANY child?
I've never liked children particularly much, I don't have much of maternal instinct, and even I would NEVER leave a child who had been in my care for however short amount of time, with a STRANGER I knew nothing about! I just can't comprehend how an ADOPTIVE PARENT could just give THEIR CHILD away?!
I had severe anxiety and were panicking over the thought of maybe having to return a puppy a few days after I've gotten him (luckily things went my way and I could keep him), imagine A CHILD?!
I couldn't agree with you more! 😢
The positive in rehoming a child could be a lifesaver if the parents are abusing and neglecting the child, like are seeing in the news daily. Instead, they could 'give' the child to someone that would love the child and care for them.
So what is a good alternative in your mind to this? It's easy to discuss the problem, but hardly anyone comes up with any solutions.
I feel bad when I even CONSIDER rehoming a PET. How the absolute f*ck does a person just give away a human child?
How are the adopting families not required to dissolve the adoption and return the child to the state?
Great question
Is any of this true? The original video doesn’t mention or link any kind of sources. And if it is what state was the video taken in? This isn’t something that happens all around America there must be some state or city with slightly different rules/policies that makes this “legal”. If it is true it’s still illegal under The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997, The Adoption and Child Welfare Act of 1980, The Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000, State Adoption Laws and Regulations. “State laws prevent the illegal transfer of children between families and require that adoptions be handled through legal, regulated processes. Any informal transfer of a child between families, especially without legal consent, violates these state laws.”
How can anyone put children in such a dangerous position?
Don't you dare say as if he's just a dog...! They are angels too. People who disrespect dogs, don't have the best heart.
think you’re missing the point honey
@@ruthie8785 Stumbled upon some random comment. I hope u didn't call me "honey" 🤮
So if there's nothing to stop you doing that with an adopted child, is there anything to stop you doing it with your biological child?
Nope, you can do this with any child.
@@jenniferburns2530: Oh! Unbelievable! That is appalling. I don't think you could do it in Australia.
Clearly there are some very significant gaps in child protection laws.
@@jenniferburns2530 Yes, but in reality it’s almost always done only with adopted children, because frankly it’s always going to be easier for parents to give up on a difficult child who isn’t biologically theirs, especially a child they didn’t raise from infancy, because they’re not bonded with the child in the same way. Blood is thicker than water, but it’s not just about blood, but bonding. That’s what makes it harder and harder for kids in the foster care system, the older they get. It’s a harsh reality of adoption that isn’t often addressed. Nature in a way gives us this long infancy for our own good, so our parents can’t help but fall in love with us to the point that, even when we get older and bigger and no longer so cute and lovable, they can’t stop loving and caring about us because in a way they’ll always see us as their “babies”. Kids in the system are robbed of that kind of primal bond with parents. Adoptive parents of older children can go into it with the best possible intentions, but they can never fully make up for what was lost. Not that I’m excusing the ones who throw away adoptive kids like defective merchandise; it’s appalling. But it’s understandable why this kind of thing happens only to adopted kids.
Oh GOOD LORD..
How is this legal???
5:21 Excuse me, but as an adopted child at 3 myself, with numerous issues due to severe abuse, neglect & other things, my mom NEVER even rhought about returning me & i put her through A LOT ..... Saying that,... HOW THE BLOODY F#@K,... Can THIS be LEGAL?????
Horrible. Scarring for life. But if you think about it, this happens with people in a lot of divorce situation; saying you want to make someone legally part of your family, so you marry them and promise them your devotion, and then deciding someone else would fit your wants better, and so you let that person go and then they go on dating websites and try to find another spouse that will take them. but if a kid goes through this...man, I don't know how he or she would be able to recover from that and form any trusting relationships as an adult.
Isnt being tossed around part of the foster family life?
I find this very sad that a lot of children just treated like this property and a lot of single people Don't Want To have children. Is for the same reason nobody wants these children
Would it be better for them to stay with families who literally don't want them?? Where they can be abused, for sure?
These are children!
This is horrifying. Is there any way to help the children IN this horrible situation? Obviously it seems wrong to go such an event even if your home would be safe. Does anyone know a legitimate way to help kids who are in the process of being “rehomed”?
I wish i had the ability to help one of these children.
This is how they sell horses.
Wtf am I watching...as an adopted child I'm absolutely disgusted! These people sitting here making them put themselves on display and perform some monkey circus to beg for adoption...all need looked into. If they don't see an issue with how this can screw these kids up even more than they aren't worthy of having a child. The fact this is how they choose to do literally a dog show for adoption. Animal shelters do this... since when did it become okay for it to be used for children?! Everyone involved in it needs investigated.
It's discussting what about predators
Wow, they should fined heavily for doing such a thing at the very least. The child when he/she turns 18 should get that money directly to help them cope with the bs they went through from adoptive parents who were fail people. There will be more sad stories like this as the abortion crisis forces more unsuitable to be parents to have children they can't care for.
Disturbing!!! If They are so wonderful why Aren't they wanted by the families that have them?
That is really messed up!
Wasn't that what happened to Natalie Grace?
I want them all! 😢 my mother, may her memory be a blessing, wanted to adopt children from every nation. She use to say she wanted to have Gods rainbow 🌈. She was always running around with some ones baby on her hips lol
Ewwww your mom sounds like a wanna be yt savior-I’m glad she never was able to do that
I’d be pissed if I found out that was happening to a dog. The fact that it’s happening to children is incomprehensible to me. 😡🥺
How is this even legal???
Even animal rescues ask you when you adopt an animal from them to return that animal to them if they decide not to keep them! This is horrible!!
Re-homing will not work at all. Such children are grown, they have their own preferences. They had bad experiences and so will be their behavior mostly that can be detrimental to the family adopting them.
Instead those wealthy or the family wish to adopt such children should fund children for rehabilitation first, assess what is best and worse in them, get them in to education or fine arts where they have real passion and bring out the best in them and improve their lives, only then a good alignment will take place between re-home parents and adopted child, otherwise the connect between them is impossible
it looks like those slave markets or prostitutes markets ! Shame to those people who do organise all this. Shame to the people who adopt a kid like they woukd adopt a disposable puppy . poor children. And thanks to the good People who still want to believe in love that those youngters need.
You cant change your mind on an Adoption. Adopting a child is not the same as buying a car thats considered a lemon.
How the heck is this even legal?
