When care-giving duties become unbearable and other such scenarios, then you will have to consider this option. As people age, they are prone to failure of varied body functioning. If you are living with kids, for example, people suffering from dementia and any other mental instability may pose a threat to the kids. Lack of resources to support specialized care needed by the aged could be another reason to give them up. It is better to give them up if you barely have time to take care of them, time is one of those resources. It is a tough call, but is what it needs to be done sometimes.
