Can I return an adopted child?
|
I recently adopted a child hoping for a great start. However, it turns out that the kid is not all he was meant to be by agency.
First of they told us he is fun and nice to be around, I have yet to hear him make a joke yet alone make me laugh.
He has no manners, never cleans the dishes, or take the trash out.
He is far from bright, brought home a quiz, and with excitement showed it to me... I was dumbfounded to think he would consider a C+ something to be proud of, and I had to let him know that that is not good enough for the fridge.
Worst of all I don't think he has any future that looks promising, movie star or sports star are completely out of the question, I'd be impressed if he made it as a manager at McDonald if u know what I mean.
What makes this so painful for me is that I am wasting my time and money on him. It just frustrates me, and I cant stand the sight of that thing anymore.
My question is can I return him or trade him in for another one or do I need a lawyer?

It all depends. Did you keep the receipt? If not, try Walmart. They often take things back without a receipt. You may have to take it in store credit on a gift card but at least you should be able to get a new set of golf clubs or something. |

can't believe you took the time to write out such a detailed lie. Your parents should have traded you in. Thanks for the 2 points though. |

I am hoping that you are trolling here, because if you aren't you are the one that needs to be sent back, not your child. If your child survives you, it will be a miracle. If you are just trolling, what I will say won't mean a thing- but if you are serious I pray that you will listen to what I have to say. A child does not have to be a movie/sports star to impress you. Each child has his/her own bent, and you can be proud of them, even if they work at McDonalds. you are wasting your time and money on your child. A child is not a piece of merchandise with money back guarantee. I was kind of hoping that he could trade you in for a new parent. |

No wonder the kid is a little messed up first of all he is adopted out for reason and since you probably didn't get him as a child he was probably abused or something.
"He is far from bright, brought home a quiz, and with excitement showed it to me... I was dumbfounded to think he would consider a C+ something to be proud of, and I had to let him know that that is not good enough for the fridge."
what the h**l do you expect the kid to be a genius at his age he is obviously in elementary school. you should have congratulated him and put it on the fridge.
I do not know how you even adopted, why don't you tell the adoption agency's that part or what you think of him?
I was getting C's when I was a child and then I started getting B's in high school, you are sick.
You don't deserve this little boy!!
"I cant stand the sight of that thing anymore"
HE ISN'T A THING HE IS A LITTLE BOY WHO NEEDS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND NOURISHMENT.
BTW it is your job to teach him manners! Your supposed to be his parent who teaches him.
Your messed up I don't even know why I am wasting my time replying to this question. |

You need to check your receipt or proof of purchase. By law, any goods you purchase need to be of merchantable quality, and must match the descriptions given. Being as how you're a reasonable consumer, and are prepared to take store credit, it shouldn't be a problem to get an exchange, if not a refund.
If you are serious about this question, you are one sick, deeply disturbed sub-human being. |

Well what kind of a$$ are you . Think of how he must feel when you tell him what you just put out here . You chose him to be your child he is your resposibility . It is your job now to teach him everything that he doesn't know . And it is your duty to study with him to improof his grades . Grow up and stick to your choices and give him the best of you and he will do awesome . |

ha ur a joke !!! if u r serious then take the kid back u ***** !! manners are for you 2 teach him. u tell him the c+ is not good enough for the fridge do u expect that to encourage a child to do well !!
as far as making u laugh...... u sound like a stuck up ***** that doesn't know how to smile let alone laugh !! u don't deserve children .....if you cant have them naturally i can understand why ! yet there are all these wonder full people out there that would almost kill to have a child and be a parent nd would be loving, caring parents but can't conceive.
go to a lawyer and have the child re adopted but don't ever adopt again or reproduce on your own accord !! u r a selfish piece of **** !! |

What is he suppose to be your little maid? Your little do boy? Oh make me laugh or take out the trash. Are you Fu&^ing serious? your really a piece of work. What you need to do is get Lawyer or something to give him back or put him up yourself I don't know you don't deserve a kid at all. |

This is out of the question but most of those kids have grown to live in a life of poverty, drug and violence abuse. I cannot believe your attitude towards the kid he wasn't raised to do all the things you want him to do. But It seems your not making an effort into making a difference in that persons life and your just giving up. The worst thing is I can't believe how a person like you qualify to adopt a child. whatever the age is doesn't make a difference but that kid will be better of without a person like you! |

Try Craig's list maybe you can make a profit, or at least break even. If not why don't you try and start an exchange program. What an idiot |
|

If that's the kind of attitude you're going to have then I don't think you should be allowed to adopt. |

DAMN... u are so mean!! u knew that it was going 2 be hard...so i dont even know why u posted dis thinkin u was going 2 get some feedback i'm sorry but u are RUDE! |

That is really sad. honestly you DO NOT deserve to have children. He is trying his best and needs discipline. You can't trade in your child like you can a car or a shirt. HE is a person how has feelings. You need to acknowledge his work and you need to go to his school and work something out to get him help. I honestly think that you are neglecting him emotionally. You need to be there for him. but if this really arents working out you can put him up for adoption. But you will never and should never adot again. OH AND BTW HE IS NOT A THING. |

I cant believe anyone could be seriously writing this question. It has to be a joke. If it isnt, you should be ashamed of yourself !! How on earth were you allowed to adopt in the first place. The poor child would be better off without someone like you. It is up to you to teach him manners, guide him and make him feel good about himself. So what if he ended up working in McDonalds. He is not a THING that you can swap when you fancy!!
I have two adopted children (one special needs) and wouldnt dream of talking about them like this. There are a lot of people who would love to be in your position who cant have their own children. GROW UP and stop being so selfish!! |

Being adopted myself, that is the most disrespectful thing i have ever heard from someone. How in the world could you ever say something like that. No wonder he's has problems with a parent like you. Please put him back up for adoption so he can be with a real family who can support him and give him the encouragement and care he needs because obviously you are 100% incapable of doing that yourself. |

Maybe you should have bought yourself a performing seal not a child who obviously isn't up to your obviously high standards. |
