Agreed, RG and kpercyman.

I’d love there to be more to the story, but I fear there won’t be, and as Henry’s adoption is such a MAJOR event in the whole mythos of this show, I’m sorta disappointed that this is the story we got to explain it. Even if that adoption agency is ethically suspect in that they’ll take a payoff to change where a baby goes, are they seriously not gonna check out the location that a baby is going to? And when the mother comes back to return the kid, are they seriously not gonna consider the child’s welfare and just let the erratic woman who wants the baby, then doesn’t want the baby, then does want the baby again, just take off with the baby? To a town they can’t find on a map? Seriously? That’s not just ethically suspect, that’s negligent of child welfare, so I’m finding it hard to buy into.

I did like the emotional side of this story, but the lack of logic just leaves me perplexed and dissatisfied about this plot point as a whole.
