[QUOTE="DDD, post: 455640, member: 35"] Going for custody is likely to open up a bigger can of worms. GFGmom was "shocked" that we would even bring up the possibility of adopting "her baby". Among other things she said "people would think I wasn't a good Mom", "he would feel abandoned", "I gave birth to him" etc. etc. on the other hand, she had no problem with us caring for him 24/7. She signed the DPOA so she wouldn't have to feel guilty leaving town etc. Other relatives offered to adopt her two subsequent children but she wouldn't go for that either. My opinion is that the two biggest factors were welfare benefits and ridiculous hopes that the bio Dads would at some point want to live with her and raise the children. Frankly, we were afraid that if we did go for custody that easy child/difficult child's bioDad might have had the chance to do so. At that time he was an alcoholic...since rehabilitated. Sending cyber hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
