Then trust your instincts. The Hep C aside, it will probably be a tough transition for him. YOu have a baby will make it all the more difficult. Bonding and attachment are HARD.
I had some things I couldn't handle in adoption and it sounds bad when I type it out. Some people seek out the very thing I couldn't handle. A social worker told me not to feel bad, but to be honest about what I could and couldn't handle.
My daughter's caregiver before she was in foster care told me that he has had Hep C for years. The first thing I did was take her to have a test. I was in a panic. I know people have it and are OK but I was a nervous wreck on so many levels.
