readopting

Taking back up

Readopting is adopting something again after having abandoned or discarded it.

A country might readopt a policy it previously repealed, or a person might readopt habits they'd worked to break: After years of eating meat, she's readopting a vegetarian diet.

The word implies a return to something formerly embraced.
