      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)

      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.

      @@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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

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!

    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.

    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 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?

      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.

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?!

    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 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.

    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
