un-adopt? reverse adoption?

[jaelynn]

What is the name of your state?hawaii

Is there such a thing as unadopting or reverse adoption? If no is it possible to give someone legal guardianship/custody of an adopted child? Does a child get to have a say in all of the above? if so at what age can a child speak on his own behalf? to make a long story short, this child was in foster care in 1999 got adopted in 2002 bio mom lost her rights to child so did the bio father. bio parents not a couple. both bio parents have deep drug issues, mental illness' (schizophrenia ect.), and none did anything to get child back. with cps ok child has always had visits with bio maternal g-pa evenafter adoption. Well, child does not want to be adopted anymore he says he only said that he wanted to be adopted by foster parents to get attention but he really didnt mean it. child has insomnia, ptsd, ect. has been seeing therapists since 1999. med's dont help behavior. now hes being tested for bipolar. bio dad hung himself because drug warlords were after him to do with $ owed. bio mom in and out of jail and rehab. the child was 4 when he came into foster care he is ten today. please respond to [email]jaelynn@paris.com[/email] in addition to this site thank you

While adoption "disruption" does occur, the objective, when done, is to establish a MORE appropriate placement, And example might be a child who acts out sexually because of sexual abuse being placed in a home with younger siblings (which places them "at-risk"). Some such placements, in which the adoptive family was not properly informed of the background have been disrupted in favor of a MORE appropriate placement.

However, a child whose parents parental rights were terminated may NOT be returned to that environment - regardless of what he states he wants. What he REALLY needs is intensive therapy to deal with all his conflicted feelings, as do his new parents. And appropriate medication to deal with any bi-polar or other disorder he may be suffering from. A child may NOT make such decisions. They cannot know what best serves their long term interests. A child will love his parents regardless of how badly they functioned as parents- he needs help dealing with his feelings of abandoning them.
