[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP her, thanks for all the advice, keep it coming! To address some of your concerns: -We would definitely go the legal route. His dad has given his acceptance for us to adopt him, as has his mom. I wonder whether his mom won't conveniently forget that when her jail term is up, but that is another can of worms. [/quote] If you adopt him, mom's parental rights will be terminated. Doesn't matter if she wants him back when she gets out of prison. That's why adoption is stronger than legal guardianship. It more matters that she'll actually sign the consent form when she gets it. Good for you, OP, this is a good thing. I sometimes wish my daughter's bio-family had stepped up to raise her. I mean, I love her terribly and am also glad they didnt', because she is the light of my life, but she has deep sadness about the aunts, uncles and older cousins who didn't take her in when her mom got sick.
