What do you do when clients come to you and do not want to retain custody of their adoptive child? This section will walk you through some of those considerations in two different case scenarios, which adoption practitioners generally call either a disrupted adoption and a secondary placement. A disruption is any situation where a pending adoption cannot be finalized, but the term has come to mean any adoptive placement where the child cannot remain in the adoptive home. A secondary placement generally occurs after the adoption is finalized; the adoptive parents as the legal parents make an adoption plan, i.e. secondary placement, for the child. This session will discuss the legal process for each, as well as the financial and emotional considerations.
