Would you adopt a baby from a relative if they could not handle being a parent?

And then the child loses out on their right to knowing who their parents are, their history and where they come from. Could you honestly take that child knowing that it's going to raise questions in future where the child is going to possibly end up feeling insecure and unwanted if they find out their adopted? In one way it may seem the best thing is to cut off all ties but you have to plan for the future, that is what gives a child the security they need. And to answer the original question, yes i would undoubtedly help raise the child, i would also make sure they were in contact with their original father and mother if they are stable and still want some contact. That way i'll be safe in the knowledge that the baine is in good safe hands and has no doubt that they're loved.

I did not say that I would cut off ties to my daughter. I love her. WHAT I said was that she AND the father would have to give up all perminent legal parental rights, as to ensure the security and permant placement of the child with no confusions. Of course..I would know and educate the child on their heritage. And as the grandmother, I would know that and have access to that, as I raised my daughter. My daughter coud visit the child. But NOT take the child home at any point or interfere with the main caretakers' parenting of the child. I would not want the child shuffled around like that. A child needs security. And they need to bond to one "mom." My husband and I would have the maturity and be able to endsure the child would have a good education and a chance for college later. I see no reason to confuse the child. -You woudl do it you way..I would only consent to do it this one. (Each person would do it differently. Is that not why you asked?)
