That has not happened and some days I fear it never will, I try to explain my position but it falls of deaf ears. I think that relative adoptions is so much harder than foster-care (my other son is adopted through FC), there are so many dynamics I wish I could avoid.

I agree, there are so many dynamics to consider. I am lucky the Pacific Ocean is between us and people I would otherwise smack on a regular basis.
All I can say is stay firm-walk out of family gatherings if necessary--be consistent and rude if necessary.
You. Are. The. Mother.!!!!!!!!! You deserve respect--and from your posts, you certainly know what you are doing!!
Go girl!
