One of my great aunts adopted her grandchild. She had to because the bmom was a drug addict, in and out of jail and dangerous. The story is very similar in that she found out she had cancer when the little girl was about 6.
The difference is that our family had many offering to take her. My mom was one. My aunt wanted to have someone outside the family adopt her. She felt it would keep her safer from the bmom. We respected her decision and my aunt passed away soon after the adoption was final.
None of it was easy but I wish you well in this process.
