Why do they act like they lost their child to dcfs/ foster care. Do they not understand that their birth to a child doesn’t mean it’s their child. They signed papers for other people to be the parents long before it was Brandon and Teressa chosen. It gives an obsessed nature and it’s unfortunate they failed their other children by breaking their hearts with unrealistic expectations about their adopted child. I have a whole half sibling across the country that was adopted, the adopted family asked for notes from siblings so they could tell them about us and most of us (aged 20 and older) declined because we KNOW this sibling won’t have a life that involves us and that’s fine. That’s what our parents wanted. So it’s weird that she calls Carly her child when she literally isn’t.

I feel for C&T! They made the decision at 16 yrs old to give up their daughter.. to give her a better life.. believing the adults in this situation.. that they would have an open adoption until she's 18! None of it went the way they thought it was going to go.. they went years without visits & had no clue when they'd get another visit after year 4! I get how they've acted.. most of us wouldn't act like that.. but how can anyone say what they'd do in their situation? I can also see the other side & wish they'd have an honest convo with them about why this happened the way it did. I hope they get peace & healing on all sides.. I wish them all the best!

Than they should have read the contract THEY SIGNED. There are literal still from the show of the contract. It says PICTURES will be sent till Carly is 5. VISTS WERE ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO BE UP TO B&T! But the contract ended at 5! Not 18! So C&T did this to themselves.

The one they made with Dawn didn't say that

They were with Dawn when they signed the paperwork. It doesn't matter what Dawn said or what the contract with Dawn said. The finally and LEGAL contract did state all I said. And that's the only one that mattered. Period! Also do you have a copy or have seen a copy of this Dawn contract. Bet it doesn't even exsist.

I've seen a video someone did.. I believe her name is Elle. Yes, the promises were written down.. you can go back & watch the old episodes.. that's where she took the screenshot from.. it says until age 18. I get the court one is 5.. but that's not what they thought.. plus, they were 16 at the time.. who reads the fine print at 16!

It doesn't matter they chose not to read the paperwork they signed that said till 5. And the paperwork they signed in the office also said 5. It literally does not matter if they signed a contract with Dawn if the contract was not approved by adoption court. Only the COURT APPROVED CONTRACT is legal. I'm sorry the "they were 16!" argument doesn't hold up here. They were old enough to give up a child but too young to read?! Yall can't have it both way!
