Hi, I know virtually nothing about adoption. However, my wife has a young cousin whom she is close with that will be having a baby soon. They are not married, and may put it up for adoption. My wife feels like we should adopt the baby. I am very concerned about the emotions involved with adopting a close family member's baby. It seems like that baby would never feel like my own when its real parents are nearby. And I fear this part of the family's stability down the line. I'm not sure this makes sense to anyone. It's just a hard situation where I feel strongly one way, and my wife feels strongly another way. I am trying to understand...thanks
