Maybe it's a summer thing. I noticed last summer I had several teens temporarily placed in my home that came from adoptive homes that no longer wanted to parent.
In my situation all of them had been relative placements. In these kids situations the relatives had always been moving the kids around from one relative to another. When summer hit everyone was busy doing their own thing and didn't have a plan to manage a teen who wasn't in school and needed something to do while the relative was working or doing whatever else they wanted to do. Some of the kids were brought into custody because they were found wandering the streets in the middle of the night and no responsible person was willing to pick them up from intake.
