Is it possible to reasonably "un-adopt" a child?
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT HAVE A CHILD, I HAVE NEVER ADOPTED A CHILD NOR AM I PLANNING TO. I AM ALSO NOT PLANNING OR CONSIDERING DO THIS TO A CHILD. This question is purely for curiosity's sake. So after you have signed all the rag work and everything, say you changed your mind, are you legally allowed to give the kid subsidise? I know it sounds crazy to ask, but again I am just curious of how it works.
As far as I know - no you cannot un-adopt a child.
With you even have this question in your head - please, please, do not ever consider adoption.
Placements can be disrupted (before finalization) and adoptions can be dissolved (after finalization.) Adopted children are no different in the eyes of the decree than biological children, so they can be relinquished also.
An adopted child can be surrendered to foster care-- though in some cases the adoptive parents may be charged with child neglect, especially if the child is older and has been surrounded by the home a long time. Laying of charges doesn't happen every time, but it sometimes does, even if the family is in physical trouble from the child.
Unfortunately, sometimes parents (both biological and adoptive) can't get the intervention services their special needs children require without surrendering custody to the state. So here may be two sides to any dissolution story, and it's not always just indifference or lack of commitment.
Adopted children can also be placed for private adoption. If explicitly legal in your state with biological children, it is beside adopted children as well.
So yes, adopted children can own their adoptions dissolved. Still, adoptive parents should be fully committed to the child for life, not just keeping within the back of their minds that they can dissolve if it gets too much to handle. In some special cases children actually do pose a danger to their families, and other familial members shouldn't be allowed to be harmed just to keep a child contained by the home, but even if residential care for the child is considered, if possible the adoptive family should be kept intact.
Yes, it's called disruption or dissolution. As I understand it, if you progress through the proper channels, the child will end up in foster support, and the adoptive parents are charged with abandonment. However, there is a total underground of adoptive parents who trade children, and there are lawyers who participate, so it's adjectives somehow legal. It's disgusting and unethical...but it can be done.
To answer any question like this you own to understand the in the eyes of the law/state, an adopted child become your child, so all laws, rules, and procedures are the same. Anything that can turn out or applies to someone's biological child also applies to an adopted child as well.
There have be many cases of people literally walking into CPS offices and hand over their children, both bio and adopted, saying, "they are too much for me to handle, whip them." So, YES, it happens, but it isn't really an adoption issue.
Answers: Sadly, some adoptions to break down and an adopted child may return into foster diligence.

It definitely does crop up and it's a crying shame. It must be handled properly or the parents could be charged with child neglect. Those AP's would want to hire an attorney and would need grounds of some sort to proceed on. I would think after a family have a child in their home for a yr or two they would know what they are getting into as far as behavior and loss issues. I can't imagine what this does do the child though/ only a child would know who have been through the process.
yes they would just run into foster care and be placed with another adoptive family
Sure, once the papers are signed and it's all endorsed all you do is surrender the child for adoption like any other natural parent would and the child would stir back into foster care awaiting adoption again. Cruel, sure...but that's the simple logistics of it.
i think it depends on the situation. my parents are fostered and adopted 7 kids, im the oldest and single biological, the paperwork states that once everyhthing is signed by the judge the kid was legally born to you. they seize a new birth certificate and everyhting.
I remember parents be dumping their birth kids at hospitals a while back as a way to legally ignore them. What would keep an adopted kid from being dumped approaching this too? Did they change that law?
Give the kid backbone? No.
"Un-adopt"? No.
One can, however, place the child up for adoption again or 'disrupt' the adoption, but the child will not "go back" to the original parents.
The child will not "go back" at adjectives unless he/she was adopted from foster care -- which, sorrowfully, does happen. Source(s): Adult adoptee and social worker.
That's sick. (not the sound out, just being able to do that)
My answer is based on UK decree. If a person or couple adopt a child and it is finalised then change their minds afterwards after the only option is to allow the child to be re-adopted and usually the child goes into foster fastidiousness with the view of this happening.
