What if you and your spouse adopted a child b/c you felt led to do so, and then after a few years gave it back?

Sounds like a great way to produce a serial killer

So you want to return a child?

Yeah I see nothing wrong with that

There's been a few stories like this. There was one on 20/20 where a couple with two children of their own adopted two mentally disturbed girls and decided to unadopt them when they felt their own kids' safety was threatened. Very controversial.

Not an option. I am in the process of adopting a brother and sister. They just turned 1 & 2. To them, I am dad. My wife is mom. They are my kids. And my wife is now pregnant and due in October. Guess what, not giving them back. I will fight for them no matter what. If you can't make that commitment to that baby, adoption, or even parenthood may not be right for you at this time of your life.

What's the difference between that and having a baby a few years ago because you felt led to do so and now you want to give the child away?

You would be considered a pos. I assume this is a troll, but I'll bite. Kids are not like a pair of shoes...you don't trade them in for something you think you would fit better. Biological or adopted...makes no difference.

I've seen it. Doesn't do the kid any favors, obviously. Do not encourage it whatsoever. Best case scenario is you adopt a child around a year old and "give it back" after a year or so. Even then, a terrible situation.
