Why Returning An Adopted Child is Wrong And How To Avoid It
I am 31 years old, and I am still healing from my abandonment story.
When you are abandoned as a child, no matter what circumstances, you are in pain. An inexplicable pain.
Maybe, an abandoned child will never fully heal from this pain, but just learn how to live with it. That’s what I do.
As an abandoned child, you learn about rejection from a very young age. How can someone abandon a baby? As an abandoned child, you can try to find the answer to this question.
You can blame the government, you can blame society, you can blame mental illness, you can blame anything you want, but every story is different, and the fact is no matter what lead to the abandonment, nothing can ever change that.
You were rejected.
Abandoning a child in the first place is wrong, but abandoning an abandoned child is a crime.
Therefore, returning an adopted child is not only wrong but a crime.
When a person or two people decide to adopt an abandoned child, the last thing that child needs is to be returned, this is a crime and should be penalised as such.
