Awww, Jeff, what a difficult situation for your family to be in. We were involved in a contested adoption and I had friends on the "failed and contested" of this forum which really helped. Some had "guardianship" for years and still fear for losing a child. I think it's a real shame that any court would give the mother of this child a full one or two MORE years to screw up his life and his sense of self-esteem and self-worth. I wish you and your family the best in your decision.
