I agree, dealing with having to answer on what if's is an unnecessary emotional yank on the heart string!

I would simply tell the CW when, and if, the TPR happens, you'd be willing to discuss it then but that you are open to the idea. Being open to the idea doesn't shut the door, it simply leaves it open to make the decision for what is best for your family AND the baby.

You also need to see how your family coexists with the young ones in your home. It takes time, you're allowed to take it if you need to!
