I am 'one of those' adoptive parents that has our son back in fostercare. Our son, adopted at the age of 12, became violent to the other children - choking, etc - and for safety reasons we obtained an attorney and placed him as a child in need of care. We still obtain our parental rights and he is our son. We had no other choice to do this to protect our other children. The RTCs and Psych wards were always quick to release him.
So it's not always that the adoptive parent didn't 'feel' like parenting anymore...sometimes there are other reasons. Our son told such stories to every fosterhome he was in and to the many RTC therapist...and he went through many the last two years. He was very charming. In the end, the fosterhomes had their eyes opened, but in the beginning, it was that how could 'we' do this.
