To Be With Family

I think we said that a baby (who is helpless and has no voice in the decision about whether or not to separate him/her from his/her genetic family) deserves every chance to grow up in that genetic/ biological family. That does not mean that an adoptive family is not a family. I'm sure you are a wonderful mother to your daughter. However, here is a situation where a child has that opportunity to grow up in its family rather than relinquished to people with no biological/genetic ties and, therefore, it is my firmly-held opinion that if this young woman and her boyfriend don't choose to raise the child, he/she should be raised by his/her grandparents.
