I wonder if the older ones will start to worry about the baby being "rehomed".[/quote]

A lot of moms complain when they have difficult babies....[/quote]

A lot of moms don’t give their kids away....[/quote]

He was not a baby.  Most moms complain, but you don't complain on video/online where the child and your other kids and their friends and families can hear it all.  Imagine what that would do to a child.  This kid will go online one day and read all about this.  Imagine how that will impact him after all the trauma he's had.[/quote]

I’m sorry but no, he won’t go online one day and read all this. He has severe special needs and can’t even talk. He will never go and read about himself online. [/quote]

Termination of parents rights - you are confusing an action that CPS takes on behalf of the state vs this couple who choose to place their child via a legal private adoption. When they do this, yes they are no longer the legal parent of the child.

He may be more there than people realize. [/quote]

Ehhh, I don’t think so unfortunately. Never heard him talk in any videos on YouTube or IG. He’s four but seems to have the mindset of a 1 year old. I just don’t ever see him being a “normal kid”. [/quote]

I know several kids including mine who did not talk till after four.   [/quote]

Did they have strokes in the womb and neuro specialists looking at their brain scans advising they would never take this on themselves and that issues would likely be lifelong? Because this child had that. Doesn't justify the parent's actions, but when you have specialists looking at neurological activity and saying, "I wouldn't..." that doesn't bode well normally. [/quote]

What doctor is going to blab out to the parent of a child that they should give the child away rather than treat the child? It's not even a believable statement, it sounds like an excuse to support their choice to giving him away. [/quote]

Not giving away a child, but that this was well known prior to adoption and the adoptive parents accepted this risk, against medical advice. And here they are...[/quote]

They are giving him away.  What else do you want to call it?  You want to make it sound nice... we're putting him up for adoption?  They aren't even doing a legal adoption.[/quote]

How do you know that?  I thought I heard that they used their adoption agency for the placement in the new home, which almost certainly means that it is a legal adoption.[/quote]

that's not how termination of parental rights works.  you can't just voluntarily sign your kid over to another family.  the courts have to be involved.  [/quote][/quote]

Right, of course the courts would be involved, but an adoption agency is going to insist on that, and facilitate that, if they are involved in the placement.  There is no way that an agency that wants to stay in business, and stay Hague accredited, is going to do a mixture of legal adoptions, and shady "rehomings".  [/quote]

Plenty of adoption agencies do shady adoptions.  There is very little accountability in the adoption world and things have been shady for many many years.  It sounds like they did it in an appropriate way and there will be another adoption but the family can just sign over POA and that would be enough for school and medical care.[/quote]

I'm the PP, and yes I agree that agencies do shady adoptions, but they don't generally do shady POA transfers.  That's not an agency thing.  Especially not in a highly visible case.  [/quote]
