[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think these things tend to happen in stages.  I doubt he started out thinking "I'm going to give up this child and sign away my parental rights and give him up for adoption."

I think it probably played out that ultimately the grandparents needed to fully adopt the child in order to care for him effectively.  That often happens in legal practice in family law, that after caring for a child for a few years, there is a move to adopt simply because it is so much easier.

I wouldn't necessarily look at this as a value judgment.  It may have been a practical matter.[/quote]

I kind of see what this poster is trying to say. The unfolding of the story could be, theoretically, important to understand to make sense of the ending.

However, OP, I am unsettled by the fact that he made no apparent emotional connection to the child. If you want to know more about this man, be honest with your concern and ask. If he is a good person he will understand why it needs to be addressed.

Then again,  I sense from your post that you have begun a process of internal withdrawal, and if that is the case, then I believe following your gut instinct is priority. You are probably picking up on a host of other cues and bits of info. Its not adding up to something you trust and as a mother of a young child, you cant be making exceptions for what another posted correctly called a value mismatch.

The mom in prison thing makes me unhappy too...[/quote]
