When adopting internationally, once you bring your child home, you aren't likely going to be faced with the possibility of having to return him or her. Depending on the country and the situation, the birthparents may be unknown, they may have already signed away their rights to the child or had their rights terminated. Or they may be deceased.

What is more common though is losing a referral. Most countries give preference to citizens of that country, so you could have a referral for Child A, but before you travel to get him or her, someone from that country steps in and asks to adopt the child, or a relative comes forward to remove the child from the orphanage.
