There was a fantastic play that started with this: Psychonaut Librarians. In the beginning, a divorced mother climbs through her daughter's bedroom window, stuffs her in a large sack, and takes her to live in the library.

That sounds like Tangled...I'm assuming that Tangled doesn't fit the category though, right? :P (and it's a movie lol) - but you should add the play to the list!

I would, but it hasn’t been published. I only saw it performed.

Tangled is more for adoption via abduction. This list is for biological parents.
