A parent cannot simply abandon their child, however in most cases they can voluntarily relinquish parental rights provided that adequate alternative care (such as a relative willing to take the child or someone willing to adopt them) is available.

However, you are asking the wrong person. You should be asking the social worker. Probably the state or government placed the children in that home. That is the person to ask.
