Remergence of Birth Families/Loss of Assignment of Child: Adoption policy generally favors children remaining in their birth families as a top priority, and often favors retaining children in their country or origin as the second best option. Each of these policies is often considered preferable to placing children in foreign countries. The risk exists that birth family members may come forward at any time during the process of your case, and may complicate or prevent the adoption of the child whom the Adoptive Parents wish to adopt. It is possible that during the course of time while the Adoptive Parents are preparing to adopt a child, foreign officials may determine that siblings may be required to be adopted in order for the Adoptive parents to adopt the originally referred child.
