So is Adoption Reversible?
We think it is.
“Once an adoption order has been granted it can't be reversed except in extremely rare circumstances” or so says BAAF and the family courts.
In the UK’s campaign to recruit more adopters for the ever increasing number of children forcibly taken into care, this is what potential adopters are being told.
TaKen will be challenging this argument. In the coming months, we are hoping to take this argument very public but in the mean time, we continue with our research to show the error of the above highlighted statement.
We would like to hear stories of where a child has petitioned a court to reverse or dissolve their adoption. While this is rare, it is an option to the adopted child, in an effort to separate from the adopting couple, under very specific rules.
We would also like to hear from families and adoptee's who have reunited post adoption and are happy to share your reunions (good or bad) moments with us.
All of your stories will be helping us in our campaign, so please do start sending your thoughts to us. Please also state if you wish us to share your story with the public and if you wish to remain anonymous. We may not share all the stories but ones that we feel have a strong enough message.
Consider the long term lasting effects of closed adoption as opposed to open adoption.
