[quote=Anonymous]I'm afraid I don't know -- my info comes from reading a memoir by someone who had to decide whether to adopt a kid who was at risk for FAS ("The Kid", by Dan Savage -- great book btw). They went ahead and adopted and the kid was fine, but of course there's no guarantee. PP is right that there will be no problem finding your nephew a home, but there are benefits to kinship adoption. If you decide not to raise him, I urge you to push for an open adoption so you can have contact with him throughout his life. You can get a lot of the benefits of kinship adoption that way while not taking on the burden yourself if you don't feel able. Best to all of you, and may you find peace with your sister's memory, and may she rest in a peace she didn't find in life. [/quote]
