no, you can’t adopt it back. once it’s done there’s nothing you can do. besides, that would be terrible for the child!! olive yağ

ehhhh they are obligated too, BUT if you give it away in an official adoption your legally signing a contract to give it away so you cant get it back Fredo

No. My son is adopted and the birthmother has 3 days to decide to change her mind. Could you imagine what that would do to a child? Teenagers shouldnt have sex period. There are no babysitters to care for your child for years until you are finished with school or decide you are ready to be a mother. Unless of course family members would do that for someone. Emily

No they couldnt, because when you give a child up for adoption you are signing away all your parental rights and giving the rights to the adoptive parents. The only way you could do that is if the adoptive parents gave the rights back to you.
And people who would want to do that are pathetic and shouldnt be able to even get pregnant.
Giving away your baby until your ready and the kid is grown up and “easier to handle” is the most disgusting thing ever.
Use birth control if you dont want a baby yet.. simple as that.

Adoption is permanent. It means the new parents are the legal parents.
Open adoptions do work. We’re proof. But it’s not guaranteed and often used to lure young women into surrendering.
It’s not a decision anyone should make on the assumption that they will even see their child again. They might not unless the adopted adult finds them.
No…you cannot choose to take the “child” back after an adoption. Ferbs

do you even understand how much damage that would do to a child. you cant give them away and let them get attached to a family and then 4 or five or whatever years later decude you want them back. your already causing them heartache when yougive them away dont give them more by making them lose another family, especially the one they know and love. and by the way its extremley hard to do something like that. not that often the mother wins in those cases. britt22

when you give your child up you cant come back and get it. Beside why you you do that, think of how that would make the child feel having to be taking away from their mom and dad. they would hate you very much for taking them away.
as for giving up a child there isnt anything wrong with it. It takes a lot to give up your flesh and blood and know for one reason or another the child would be better off with someone else. It shows you’re a very good mother and you really love your child. better then the ones that either kills it with abortion or just doesnt take care of it and lets the state care for them.

No, no, no,….a thousand times no….it ain’t happening, no how, no way! Once you surrender your parental rights to and of your own child….Bye, See You…you are no longer the legal parent and in fact are a LEGAL stranger to the child you gave birth to. Want to keep your child in your life?…nix the adoption stuff, tough it out. gypsywinter

Nope, once you sign it is not yours anymore. dontknow86

no, theyve lost all parental rights, an open adoption just means they receive photos and letters, and can visit, but only with the adoptive parents permission, theres no going back, it would be cruel to take a child from the home theyve grown up in, just because you decide you want to take care of him now.

Babies dont just happen. If teenagers (or anyone else who isnt ready to parent) didnt have sex, there would be no need for questions like this. Wait till you’re done with school & preferably married to have sex, & then use contraception until you’re ready to have a baby. Marnie B

No adoption is not meant to be a temporary situation to let someone care for the child until the natural parents feel prepared and ready to parent. If someone has plans to eventually parent their child then they need to give someone temporary guardianship or have the child put in temporary foster care. Not place the child for adoption.
The only way someone could adopt their natural child back is if the adoptive parents were willing to give up their rights and let that person adopt their child. I have heard of cases where adult adoptees have been adopt by their natural parent. Come Soon Lord Jesus
