This is a little different from my normal post because it is not an international story but involves the adoption and later return of a South American child by a Caucasian American woman. Anita Tedaldi told MSNBC that she could not bond with the child.

“I think it was both ways… that the child, D, wasn’t connecting with us," she said to MSNBC.

"And at the same time, while I was seeking help with a therapist, a social worker, while I was trying to establish a connection, and did some attachment therapy, I also realized that, on my part, there was a difference. I also had a hard time bonding with him.”

Tedaldi has five biological children of her own, none of which she seemed to have a hard time bonding with. While I can understand adoption being a completely different scenario, I am just not understanding how one can comprehend returning a child like a pair of jeans with a loose thread. Did all of the reasons she came up with for why she wanted to adopt suddenly go out the window?

My guess is that that probably happened sometime around the time she saw the skin-tone of the baby.
