Rehoming-Returning your adopted child

Rehoming is a term most commonly used with pets. Bringing that cuddly darling of a puppy or kitten home only to discover they poop, pee, shed, chew, stink, nip, scratch and may need obedience training. They were cute as a button with the red bow around their tiny little necks in the pet store or kennel. After a few months of living in their new home, their novelty has worn off. Those things that made them adorably irresistible are now unnerving, teeth chattering, and irritatingly hair pulling. Something has gotta give.

Rehoming in 2013 is actually a term used for returning an adopted child. This is often done with without government regulation or supervision. Rehoming is an underground movement for guilty adoptive parents with adoption regret. The adopted children are often born over seas. Many have health disabilities, known and unknown at the time of adoption.

An American couple allegedly turned over custody of their adopted Liberian daughter to unfit parents, according to an investigative report on an underground adoption network for unwanted children that operates via online groups.
Todd and Melissa Puchalla of Wisconsin struggled for two years to  raise Quita, a troubled teenager they had adopted from the West  African nation. However, after failing to cope with Quita’s  health and behavioral disorders, they posted an advertisement for  her adoption online. Within weeks, the couple had packed Quita into their car and made  the six-hour drive from their home to Westville, Illinois, where   – on October 4,  2008 - the young girl would meet her new family. 
Quita’s case and others like it are the subject of a new report  from
Reuters, which chronicles the growing world of underground  adoptions, or
“re-homing.” Parents who regret adopting  their children simply post an
ad for the child on the internet  and grant custody to new parents, all without
the necessary  safety oversight or background checks provided by government 
agents. Quita met her new parents Nicole and Calvin Eason, both in their  30s, in a
trailer park. The meeting lasted for just a few hours  and included the signing
of a notarized statement which granted  the Eason’s guardianship over Quita.
There were no attorneys,  welfare officials, or agents from Child Protective
Services on  hand. 

Quita, now 21, told reporters that she still cannot believe what happened. “How would you give me up when you brought me to be  yours?”  she stated. Source:RT 9/13

    I love being around people. I would rather live falling than break my spirit never trying anything hard. This blog is about trying and retrying life.
