Can I say "She takes Sarah back to be with her again"?

Answer

Yes but the original sentence is much better, it is using a common collocation/ expression.
It would be how I would say it.

From a dictionary definition accept may not seem a good choice, but it carries an additional meaning of taking responsibility, and is used in legal parlance. Accept would mean to receive and take responsibility.

Answer

Yes, in this context it means the same.
