[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so stupid
Encourage her to keep the baby
If she insists in not keeping it, then let the baby be adopted by a third party
She is just struggling with pregnancy and hormones
Either way, too complicated for the family dynamic. She will always be in the picture and will want the baby back and disagree with your parenting
Just say no[/quote]

Best advice on thread.[/quote]

Worst advice ever.  Not all adoptive parents treat the kids well.  Child is better off with family.  OP wants to adopt.  How is this even an issue?[/quote]

Adoptions within families should be illegal.  Nothing but trouble.  Imagine how you would feel if you found out at age 12,  or  22, that aunt Sadie was really your mother but didn't want you, for any reason, and pawned you off to your infertile relative.  It would not matter how much your adopted mother wanted you.[/quote]
One of my kids who was adopted feels this way and it was not a familial adoption. Unfortunately, many people who were adopted experience feelings o of rejection and Abandonment, regardless of who adopts them. It’s something to be aware of as an adoptive parent. It’s not necessarily related to how much your parents love you or how well you are treated. I think it may be worse if you discover your birth parent chose to raise other children, like in this case. This is not to counsel anyone against adoption, just something to be aware of.  My other son doesn’t seem to feel that way, but the first is generally a more sensitive kid.[/quote]
