[QUOTE="BeachPeace, post: 546252"] I have been a "Therapeutic" Foster parent and I also adopted a child I cared for, my son Blue. I am like the others, just another parent, but having been deep in the system in various ways (I am also an RN) some questions popped into my mind. Please don't get offended, I am just trying to get you to see how this could appear to the "system" If you are indeed legally the father - your child gets dropped off at your home---- please be very VERY aware that any "parental abandonment" either real or perceived can get ALL of your children into the system and get YOU and YOUR NEW WIFE investigated by DCW, DHR or what ever it is in your state. It has happened. Please just make sure that whatever you do is done legally, safely and in no way could be construed as your abandonment or neglect of your older son. I agree with you - sounds like you better get a plan in place, because if the mom is as described - you may get a surprise on your doorstep one evening. At that point - if mom is long gone and he is left with you..... YOU are ultimately held responsible for him. Welcome here. You will find many of us are battle worn but there is so much wisdom here.... [/QUOTE]
