My sister in law asked my husband and I to take in our nephew and we couldn’t be more thrilled! He’s 10 years old and wasn’t getting along with his sisters but he’s a great kid very well behaved

I don’t understand why his family would throw him out of the house like that. How horrible for the kid.

Are you guys legally adopting him?
I don’t understand

I’m glad he has you. He needs love! I mean my kids fight, too. But I’d never relocate them because of that.

@Wave yes we’re doing temporary guardianship until we can afford to talk to a lawyer to get full

I know everyone seems real happy about this,
But I have some concerns.
I’d want to know more than “not getting along with his sisters”.
Parents don’t remove children from the home for that.
I’m afraid you’d be getting a troubled child with little to no experience parenting.
Seems like kind of a scary situation to me.

@Charles_Foster his sisters were picking on him
Add on: that’s all I’m going to say about that

I don’t believe someone would rehome a child because his sisters aren’t nice to him.
There’s a lot more to it and I think you know that.
Do you have room for him?
Do you even have your own place yet?
Can you afford a ten year old boy?
My son is almost ten and he’s freaking expensive.
I mean, he’s adopted, so I’m not fronting the bill, but damn,
It adds up fast.
I think you’re jumping into this without looking first.

@Charles_Foster you don’t know him or his mom he’s a really good kid. We have our place and we have room for him too. We understand it’ll be expensive but we’re willing to take care of him. Right now it’s temporary guardianship so we get to test the waters first.

@Twialine those are all valid questions. You’re getting upset, but you’re the one that placed such a situation onto an open forum. That invites discussion.
I honestly don’t know why you’re being defensive. The situation you vaguely described sounds awful for that child.

I know I’m being harsh,
But this is a serious situation.
You’re dealing with a life.
It sounds like you’re taking a much more casual approach to this than you should.
