That would really upset me too!

We took a meditation class a few years back and I was a bit put off by what the teacher charged for these classes. My husband said to me that people will take it a bit more seriously if they have a financial investment in it. It makes total sense to me today. I wonder if you'd have charged them an adoption fee if they would have still put him up for sale so shortly after.

I hope the good vibe you got from them initially is accurate and they offer to give him back to you.
