Other than falling for the "I love you" line her boyfriend gave her and ended up pregnant, my neice has a good head on her shoulders. As of right now she is commited to the adoption. I meet with her next weekend and we will discuss it further. I still need to look into laws both here and there to see about waiting periods and legalities, but so far it looks good. I do believe that the distance will be my greatest assest. I do a lot of praying and I am doing a lot of research, but so far we all feel that a family adoption is the best way to go.
I do, however, have a question for anyone willing to give an opinion. Everyone in both my family and my husbands family say that she should not be allowed to hold the baby the day it is born. I actually agree with that, but was considering a compromise of letting her hold it the day before I leave back to my home. I am getting negitive feedback on that - what do you think?
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
Maria
