[quote=Anonymous]I work in a newsroom and all the horrific stories I read about things people do to kids would stand your hair on end. This is a daily problem all over the country - the stories just don't rise to the level of national news - and foster and adopted kids are often the victims. That's not to say that the vast majority of adoptive parents aren't wonderful so I hope nobody will be offended.  I only have one sister and she is a mom and has her shit together - I'd want her to adopt my kids if anything ever happened to DH and me. If it were me I would definitely adopt that kid, trusting that in your thirties you are mature enough to handle it, and that no one can love him like family. If you choose to put him up for adoption try to make it an open situation so you can be part of the kid's supportive team. Auntie X who can make sure he is getting the love and support he needs and answer (lovingly and truthfully in an age appropriate way) questions he's sure to have about his mom. Like pleasant childhood memories and places you went on vacation together, family recipes, medical history and what his grandparents were like.  [/quote]
