[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 723362, member: 1550"] I am beyond shocked that social services allowed a women in her mid 50s, on her fourth husband (who needed to pretend at least that he WANTED this adoption) and with mental health issues to be a foster parent, let alone adopt an extremely troubled toddler. But...I shouldnt be surprised. It goes along with our child protective (cough) system not giving good info to foster/adoptive parents and having no accountability because they are the State. This is a part of what is wrong with our attitude toward desperate children in the U.S. It is no better than our attitude toward the mentally ill homeless and other important social issues regarding vulnerable people. Shame on us! I knew much was bad, but I never thought about how Social Services would choose who would be good parents for orphaned children...and who is allowed to foster/adopt. I thought there was at least an age limit. Is this woman 70 now? How long can she care for this kid? Sad situation. Opt out of this. Not your monkey, not your circus. Let your husband deal with them alone, if need be.. if he wants. This is crazy and toxic and you can cut to minimal contact. My unwanted advice is to do just that. Even if husband doesnt like it. Maybe couples counseling would help. He needs to understand your choices or else life at home can get rough. You dont deserve that nor to be harassed by unbalanced people...I hope husbands whole family is not this way. Hugs! [/QUOTE]
