[quote=Anonymous]You will bond with him and the sister will likely use him as a lever to jerk you around, asking for $$$ and the like. I would set firm boundaries from the outset, either give him up or don't but no back and forth. He's already bound to have damage and becoming the subject of a tug of war won't help. Also, be careful with the paperwork. I know of a couple who adopted a nephew. The surrendering parents used paperwork to steal their identities and take out credit cards, make workers comp claims. They only realized in when he had to go to the hospital and was turned down for worker's comp based on previous claims (he never made). It took years of legal work to untangle.[/quote]
