What is Rehoming?
Parents have the legal responsibility to protect and care for their children. The unregulated custody transfers of adopted children, commonly referred to as “rehoming,” is a practice where the parents of adopted children decide that the child is not a fit anymore and turn to the internet or other unregulated networks to find a new home for their child. This practice puts children at risk of being placed in dangerous situations where they may face harm from the adults who receive them.
