[quote=Anonymous]Speaking as an adoptive mom, would everyone lay off the aunt? She is doing right by the child in her care. It is a kinship adoption, which is different in so many ways from other kinds of adoption (such as mine -- international, semi-open). I vehemently disagree with the PP who suggested looking into a private adoption -- it's awesome that your niece/daughter is able to be cared for within her family of origin, and it's a terrible idea to consider a private adoption on the basis of -- what, exactly? That her parent isn't sentimental about motherhood and prioritizes her child's development (e.g. speech delays) over adoption-friendly language. [/quote]
