[quote=Anonymous]The OP does not say ( and it does not really matter I suppose) but: I wonder (given the daughter was apparently very very young when the mother died) the father was struggling to handle his grief (many do not cope well and that can come out in various ways). Perhaps he sent the baby to be cared for by the aunt while he got himself together, not necessarily intending it to be permanent. And then…life happens…maybe he saw the child was thriving and happy with her aunt (and perhaps an uncle as father figure?) and did not want to disrupt things. And gradually fell out of touch- maybe out of laziness but also to minimize any confusion for the child. In the end the result is the same, but it may not be that he “immediately asked the aunt to adopt” his child. May have been a more gradual progression and kids grow up so fast. [/quote]
