[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your niece's parents are wretched people. No way would Jesus approve.

[b]Why can't she live with you?[/b] Do you live in a one bedroom with a kid already? Does she do drugs and do you have an impressionable preteen or teenager?

If not, I think you should let her live with you.[/quote]

Well, just off the very top of my head, because she's been wild for the last three or four years and I don't know what kind of influence she's going to be on our impressionable young kids, and equally because DH and I planned our family size. We did not plan to have two more people join our family when we planned how many children we'd have, when we planned that I would stay home, etc. [/quote]

This might be the most depressing thing I've read in months.  [/quote]

Actually, and I say this coming from the prospective of being a foster parent, I think it is wise for OP to consider carefully whether or not she is willing to take on the niece.  The niece needs stability.  If OP can provide that, that's fantastic.  If OP can be a safe harbor while the situation calms down, that's fantastic.  But OP shouldn't feel like she has to say yes-- knowing your limits is important.  [/quote]
