Mommy Blogger Adopts—Then Gives Child Back Because She didn’t Feel a “Bond”


child adopted then returned Mommy Blogger Adopts—Then Gives Child Back Because She didnt Feel a “Bond”

Anita Tedaldi has written much about her family of five biological daughters. Despite a gaggle of children, Tadaldi felt here was room in her and her husband’s lives to adopt an additional child. The South American boy, referred to as “Baby D”, had been found by the side of the road. If anyone needed a family, it was he.

But after a year and a half, Tedaldi returned him.

Okay, maybe that’s a little coarse, but you tell me. Tadaldi went on the “Today” show and cited the baby’s inability to bond with her as the issue.

On one hand, Tadaldi’s move is a brave one. If she truly didn’t feel like she could love the child, giving him back may offer him a chance at a family that will.

On the other hand, children aren’t sweaters. Tadaldi says the experience with this adopted child just wasn’t the same as the feeling she got with her biological daughters. Probably should have seen that one coming. Under any circumstances, an adopted child offers challenges biological kid don’t. Here Tadaldi may have made a monumental miscalculation of her own heart...
