Готова ли я усыновить ребенка сестры? Личный опыт мамы

I just did something crazy…

My baby sister, idk if yall remember but she’s irresponsible and was hooked on drugs, she is about to have a baby and has been contemplating adoption. I just told my family that I’d adopt the baby. It’s a girl so we already have everything. She would be 3 months younger than my Marianna. It would be hard for a little bit but I am confident that we would all adjust and love her as our own. What would make it a little easier is that we are moving out of state and would be able to raise her without issue. I did tell my family that we hope she decides to become a mother and work on herself to be a better person but if she decides to not keep the baby we would be a safe place for her to go. I think I have the patience to care for a child with disabilities due to my sisters history, there are no signs now of that. But just something that has run across my mind. Am I crazy?? Or would you do the same?

Ray, such a huge heart that you have. I have confidence that you can do it. You'd be a blessing in that little girls life.

I just learned the babies fathers parents would fight for custody. So I doubt I’d be able to adopt.

I would do the same in your position I think it’s extremely lovely of you and the baby will be ever so grateful for you someday.

I would probably do the same. I’m glad you’re aware that the baby could have disabilities depending on what she’s been using. What is she on? We see a lot of kids with complex behavioral issues due to exposure to opiates in utero but I’m sure there are many kids who had exposure who show no signs of those same issues. But with the right environment and support, I know she will thrive!

Both my sister and her bf have used a lot of different drugs. Meth, opiates, pills, drinking, weed. List goes on and who knows what they did when conceiving. I pray the baby is ok. But I don’t think I’ll get custody. I was told the grandparents would hire attorneys and fight for custody

Not crazy but I understand the hesitation. I’m sure that baby girl will be forever grateful for you.

I’d do the same if I was in a position. I think it’s a wonderful idea.

Honestly, I’d probably do the same too. Crazy, yes, but if you think you can handle it, go for it!
