The Virginia Commission on Youth is scrutinizing the practice of finding new homes and transferring custody of adopted children—while bypassing state oversight and safeguards.  The practice—known as “re-homing”—was uncovered through last year’s Reuters and NBC News investigation, which found an underground market for adoptive parents who no longer wish to care for their adopted child.  And as Virginia Public Radio’s Anne Marie Morgan reports, the panel’s focus is  on mitigating the reasons that some adoptive parents change their minds.
