Question:

"Disrupted" adoptions? How can we stop things like this?

I am heartsick over the story of the 7 year old girl, adopted in Korea by Dutch diplomats at 4 months old, who they turned over to Hong Kong fostering. Apparently the claim is that she had culture shock and did not want to eat Dutch food. Maybe she's just a picky eater! They never naturalized her, so she is not a Dutch citizen and does not have Hong Kong residency, but doesn't speak Korean.

And from a group of Korean adult adoptees:

What do you all think about this? I know that there are some times when a child is better off without a family that is horrible for them--adoptive or not--and this might be one of them for this child. But, oh, my heart just goes out to her.

How we can stop things like this from happening? There just has to be some sort of better screening or mandatory counseling or something that would keep people like this from adopting.
