Rehoming is the hotly debated practice of placing a previously adopted child with new guardians, usually without involving the court system or child welfare groups. A bold new stage production debuting at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in June tackles this controversy head-on.
An explosive five-part Reuters series recently brought rehoming into the national spotlight, revealing parents advertising their adopted children on Facebook pages and in Yahoo groups. Several states are currently considering legislation to regulate or outright ban the practice. But unlike most of the debates surrounding rehoming that tend to center around the experience of adoptive parents, the world premier of Disrupted explores the collateral damage that an adoption disruption or rehoming can inflict on a sibling relationship.
