I think that its a good idea. Kids should try to stay with in the family if the bio parents cant take care of them. If my grandparents would have adopted me and my siblings we would have been better off.

It is much better then foster care, because you know who your children are with. My kids were adopted by my mom, its been a nightmare for me, but a godsend for her.

I am worried, now our daughter wants to move back in state and live with us and she is telling us what to name them, and how to raise them, I want them to have a wonderful childhood and not feel torn as to who they should listen to or come to when they need anything.

i'm struggling with a similar idea. i am 7 months pregnant with my first child and we have decided to put our baby up for adoption. the choice is killing me but i know it is in my baby's best interests. we've currently realized that my byofriends aunt and uncle want to adopt a child and my boyfriend matt loves the idea of them adopting our baby because then we can remain in contact...but i'm scared that i will be out of the picture and unable to see my baby ever again if something should happen between matt and i. i'm totally torn.

I was a product of one being adopted by my grandparents. I lived up to the age of 16 not knowing anything about this. It was devistating for me to find out the one I called "sister" was my birthmother. Honestly I can't stand her to this day. If something were to happen to her I would not care.

I loved my adoptive parents very much except that my adoptive mom was very controlling. Both of my adoptive parents are gone now. That's another problem. I don't have parents now and I am only 45 years old.
