11. "Rehoming is just another word for abandoning."

YES.

I have students who have experienced this; some have experienced it repeatedly. I have seen what it does to them.

I just want all children to have a safe, stable, nurturing, loving home and family to grow up in. Is that too much to ask?

Great post cyberswede Mar 2015 #1
