Authority on Adopts

[Captain]

So I've found my self in an intresting situation. So owl archived Yarrowfrost who was originally one of my adopts. But Owl doesn't want  Yarrowfrost to be readopted. So say I still wanted to have Yarrowfrost so my character Brownfur and Aria's Blackeye could have their plot progress, who gets to say what happens? 

Honestly I haven't thought about it until now so I don't know if I would readopt her or not. But the question still stands; when an adopted character is archived does the adopt automatically return to the adopter or does the adoptee still have rights over it?

I know adopts can be readopted once an rper goes inactive. But what about an adopter who isn't inactive, but just doesn't use the character?

If you'd like Yarrowfrost to be readopted I'm 100% ok with it, and I can put her on my list of cats to readopt (unless you'd like to readopt her yourself)
I'm so sorry I completely forgot that I adopted her from you rip

owl, oh thanks! I understand why you wouldn't want to readopt Yarrowfrost, but I was hoping of having some type of confrontation between her and her kits. Though if you wanted to we can keep her in limbo for now. Maybe if you ever wanted to revive we could plot something? c:

You can only reclaim adopted cats (excluding litter roll kits) in 1 of 3 ways:

1) the Rper goes inactive and is placed in the "inactive" group by staff

2) you have placed a disclaimer BEFORE the cat is adopted stating that you reserve the right to reclaim the cat if x amount of time occurs without activity from the RPer

3) you pm the active RPer in question and ask nicely if you can reclaim the character if 1) or 2) does not/has not happened

This is a reference for anyone with a similar question!
