RE-HOMING

Published on Oct 21, 2013

American parents who are unhappy with their adoptions are turning to social media sites like Craig's List, Facebook and Yahoo to attempt to find new homes for their adopted children, a new Reuters report reveals. The practice of "private re-homing" allows Americans to easily transfer guardianship of children to strangers they've met over the Internet and avoiding oversight by adoption officials. Children who are adopted internationally are particularly vulnerable to re-homing. RT's Ameera David speaks with Adam Pertman, executive director for the Donaldson Adoption Institute, about how re-homing is affecting international adoptions.

"These Russian babies are the unwanted children of prostitutes and are kept in what amounts to a system of filing cabinets until some dumbass shows up to retrieve them.
Problem is, when you keep a baby in a box like that, and you don't feed it, hold it or talk to it, it grows up to be a complete and utter sociopath.
And by "grows up" I mean by the time it's like two it's probably destroying your house and trying to chew your face off like a chimpanzee. Hence trying to get rid of it on Craigslist." -Byron Crawford
