Anita Tedaldi mother who returned adopted boy
Thursday, October 1st, 2009Anita Tedaldi, mother to five girls and wife to a deployed soldier, adopted a South American boy who’d been abandoned by the side of a road. His age remains unknown, and ostensibly due to the rough circumstances of his formative first few months, the boy failed to develop a familial bond with Tedaldi or her daughters. Her husband was deployed at the time.
So Tedaldi “returned” her adopted son after eighteen months of being his mother.
Tedaldi’s story blew up on the internet today after an interview with Today’s Matt Lauer, sparking an equal outpouring of strong criticism and non-judgmental support. She told Lauer:
“I loved him and I cared deeply for him,” Tedaldi told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Thursday in New York. “I tried to do the same exact thing I did with my biological children, but over time it became clear that our family maybe wasn’t a good match for him, that we were unable to meet some of his needs.” Read full story here
