Thanks for the quick reply. Where to start.
The court had given her a limited amout of time to maintain her visits and sobriety. She has done neither and that time is about to run out.
My wife and I are completely unwilling to raise her as aunt and uncle.
I guess the real question is how do we establish those boundaries with the baby? I can not expect the b/m to respect the boundaries that we set, but we do not want to hide the b/m from our nieces life. I am worried about how we address the b/m within our household and how much say that the child will have in her realtionship with her b/m.
I am confident that we can get the meaning of terminating her rights across to the b/m. Under no circumstances would we ever even contemplate returning the child and that needs to be very clear to the b/m. I just worry about the long term impact of this difficult relationship on our adopted daughter.
