Dreaming of sending your adopted child back - dream meaning with inherited lore

You leave the child with another person or an institution and turn away. Their crying or the way they keep looking back may leave you feeling heavy-hearted.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of sending a child back have sometimes been interpreted as stepping away from a connection or responsibility you had taken on. Rather than necessarily meaning a bad separation, they may be seen as a process of readjusting what you can carry. (In folk dream interpretations, parting from a child is sometimes connected to changes in family relationships or the transfer of responsibility.)

Through the mind: You may feel that your current role has exceeded your ability or capacity. If guilt came with that feeling, it may reflect how difficult it is for you to give yourself permission to rest or accept help.
