What is the difference between adoption reunification and adoption disruption?

Adoption reunification and adoption disruption are two outcomes of adoption law in Nebraska. Adoption reunification occurs when an adopted child is reunited with their birth family. This may occur many years after the adoption if the birth parents and adopted family agree to it. Adoption reunification is often seen as a positive outcome, as it provides the opportunity for the child to learn more about their birth family and build stronger relationships between them. Adoption disruption, on the other hand, is when the adoption has failed and the adoptive family decides to terminate the adoption process. Reasons for adoption disruption may include the adoptive family facing financial difficulties, the adoptive parents’ inability to connect with the child, or other issues that make it difficult for the family to continue with the adoption. Adoption disruption is often seen as a negative outcome, as it may leave the child feeling abandoned and heartbroken.
