[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see this all the time as a school administrator.  I call it "buyers remorse".  [/quote]

As a psychologist, I've seen this several times as well and it makes me furious. An adoption is a commitment to be a parent. If you wouldn't relinquish/abandon a biological child to the state you should not do the same with an adopted child. [/quote]

Some people place biological children in children welfare.  It’s sometimes the only way to get mental health and other treatment.  [/quote]
What you are referring to is very rare.
The families are low income and do not have resources. People who adopt do want children and the children are planned. Home study has proven that they have the resources to financially look after that child and provide.

The anecdotes are worlds apart [/quote]

Placing a child in child welfare is very rare as a teen for mental health but it happens.  A teen adopted from foster care will have Medicaid which can pay for mental health treatment but a biological child or one adopted privately/international, etc., will not have Medicaid and it could very much break a family to pay for mental health treatment without good health care coverage.  Even a family with a good income may not be able to afford years of intensive or residential treatment.  We couldn't, could you?  [/quote]
