complicated

relative adoption is complicated...

Quote:
My husband has tons of concerns, Is this just an easy way out for her to still be able to see him when she wants and to still get to do the things she wants to do, is it better for a child to grow up and know his biological mom sometimes or not at all, what if she causes tons of stress and chaos in our life, so many questions

we have recently adopted, and in one of our classes, the caseworker mentioned that in relative adoption, many mothers DO feel like if a family member has the baby, it won't be like a "real" adoption... and they can easily access the child....

you are really wise to seek counseling now...
