[quote=Anonymous]OP, first, I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister.

While it is generous and kind that you are considering adopting your nephew, you don't sound entirely committed.  And that's okay - this is a lot to take on:  the death of your sister, the prospect of being a single parent to a child who might possibly have a significant developmental issue.  As you've noted, you're also - quite rightly - thinking about your own future and the desire to meet Mr. Right and have a biological child.

There might be a mom and/or dad who would absolutely, without hesitation adopt your nephew.  Your nephew would be THE child in their lives - not a hold over until a biological child came along.  I hope my last statement doesn't seem harsh.  But both you and your nephew deserve the very best.  And to me, reading your posts, it doesn't sound like that necessarily means that you adopt him.

Regardless of what you decide, best wishes to both of you.  You are a great sister and a wonderful aunt (no matter what you decide). [/quote]
