Children being returned to bad biological relatives is unrelated to adults being unable to adopt.
I stand corrected. My wording may not have been the best choice but my sentiment is the same. Yes, the two instances may be different but are related at the same time. When children are taken out of abusive situations and there are no blood relatives who can (or be willing to) take the children into their custody the children are placed in foster homes. Yes, some of the foster homes are not the best places (NOTE I said some not all). However, occassionally children are placed in foster care and are left there for extended periods of time. About the time the children get settled into a family environment and the foster parents decide to make it permanent, somehow the birth parents decide to be parents again and thus starts the vicious cycle all over again.

I do realize that not every situation is the same so please understand I am not trying to group every instance into the same category.
