However, they should never be allowed to adopt again. Children are not like merchandises from Wal-Mart.

This exact thing could very easily have happened to me, I was adopted at 6 weeks old and my adpopted parents were not told that deafness was hereditery in my birth family.I was not diagnosed as deaf until 5 yrs old but lucky for me I had wonderful parents and my mother spent many hours teaching me to speak. I can never thank her enough, she passed away last November aged 88.
