Thanks so much for the honesty...

I greatly appreciate your honesty, we are so new to this whole situation that that wasn't even something that had crossed our minds yet, and it is definitely something that would have to be addressed. At this point, I can't imagine saying no to them, knowing that they would be raising a child that they had originally opted to give up, however without going into great details, I'm not sure that it's the monetary issue that is the problem, it is more the lack of parenting skills, and still being quite "young" (somewhat immature for a 19 & 23 yr. old) to become parents. Another thing that has been in the back of my mind is to, when the time is right, suggest to them that we'd be willing to adopt both of their children. The situation now sees either grandparents keeping the baby for 3-4 nights/week, as they just aren't coping well with parenting.
There is ALOT to be considered and discussed!
