Is this technically possible?

Question

Here's just a senerio. No one I know or no one I've ever heard of has been in this situtation before, and I'm just wondering if this is possible through the adoption system.

So, lets say that there is a pregnant teen named Lara. Lets say that Lara decides to give up her son, James for adoption, hoping that he will find a nice family and grow up happy and healthy.

A few years later, Lara gets married and hopes to have another child with her new husband, but they can't conceive and find out that this is because of her husband's sperm. They review different options and decide to adopt.

Lets say, 12 years after the birth of James, Lara and her husband finally get their adopted child, who is also a 12 year old male, just like James would be. So, Lara and her husband research deeper into it and find that much to their surprise, their adopted son is the little baby that Lara gave up for adoption years ago.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

yes, but then again, almost anything is possible.

that sounds kind of soap opera-ish

Answer 2

Sounds very much like a "Lifetime Original Movie."   Anything is possible, but the chances of something like this actually happening are very small.

Answer 3

Yes, it'd be possible.

Answer 4

Extremely remote unless James had medical problems at birth.   Healthy babies are scooped up into adoption very fast. Not so healthy babies can linger in foster care for years.  Another possibility is in an open adoption where an a-parent has died.

Answer 5

It is possible, and I know of a child that was adopted that was born to a young mother.  The adoptive mother got cancer 5 years later, while the first mom was her nurse.  The first mom readopted her then 5 year old, and is doing great.  The originally closed paperwork was reopened by a judge and the original birth certificate was re-issued.  The adoptive father had divorced the mother and signed consent, and then the first mom and the child's bio dad got married.  This has been 12 years ago, and they are doing great as a more mature family now.

Answer 6

uhm.. DUH

Answer 7

Of course it is possible.

Answer 8

Highly unlikely if 'Lara' gave up a newborn.  They're snapped up right quick

Answer 9

Of course it's possible!  Unlikely, but possible.

Answer 10

Yes Possible, very Days of Our Lives though !

Why do you ask ?

Answer 11

it IS possible, but it's very highly unlikely.

Answer 12

I guess anything is possible, but I doubt that any adopted parents would have put up the baby the adopted up for adoption.

Answer 13

UHH. it is possible cuz but most likely not gonna happen bcuz if she gives him away that means his new family will hae to give him up unless he didnt get adopted then maybe idk

Answer 14

Possible, but not very probable.

Answer 15

Yes its possible, but I am sure they would know before it ever happens. They keep track of that stuff.
