[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]maybe she can give the child back[/quote]

I know someone who did this but after only 2 years.  The child had some developmental issues and they decided they didn't want to deal with it.  Heartbreaking. [/quote]

No you don't know anyone who did this - it's not possible to "give back" a child.  Who the hell do you think you are going to give the child back to???

When an adoption dissolution occurs, the family of the child must look to place the child in another adoptive home.  They can't just call the adoption agency and say "hey, take back this kid right now".  Adoption agencies don't run homes of any sort in the US.  And if the parents did make that call, the adoption agency would call CPS immediately to intervene and it would not be pretty for the family and this is especially true for those who have other children in the home.  And even if they are allowed to relinquish the child to the state (which is rare btw), the state finds another adoptive home for the child to go to (unless the situation is so severe that the child must be put in a residential setting)
