Anita Tedaldi raised boy for 18 months before making a choice - she returned him. Like a failed product. The baby was black and the woman was white and already had five children when she adopted him. The NBC Today had her on and play some wonderful music that sounds like this should be a sweet story.

Anita Tedaldi: Adopted Child Returned

I'm not so sure. Here is a bio from her blog: "My name is Anita Tedaldi and I was born and raised in Rome, Italy. I moved to the United States before my eighteenth birthday to pursue my dream of becoming a professional dancer."


She adds, "In my blog I write about my experiences with my children, about being a single mom for so many months out of a year, about military living, deployments, stress and fears. I also write about Italy, homeschooling, traveling the country with my daughters and some Italian food and fashion."

She wrote about her baby return on the blog. This situation is awful, a woman adopts a baby, spends 18 months with him, and then returns him. She says, "They weren't bonding." See the video here, do we now keep the receipt for adoptions and what exactly is the return policy on kids? In all seriousness, should this woman even be allowed to adopt?
