Private post please

My sister has just had a baby yesterday iv had a call from social services asking if i would be willing to take the baby on if she cant keep him I already have 3 children of my own youngest 9 months and im torn between what to do i dont want baby being placed in the care system but would it be fair on my kids to bring another baby into their lives.

  • I would have to take baby in. I would rather struggle knowing baby is with family then in the system and regret it . But that is my opinion.

  • I’d do it in a heartbeat, I couldn’t live with myself if my niece or nephew ended up in care. They should provide you with any extra help you need or at least point you in the right direction for help x

  • Personally If it was my nephews id have to take them. I couldn’t bare them going into care or being away from family. But it’s down to circumstances. If you can, I would. I’m sure you’d get help and support but it’s your choice xx

  • If it was me I’d take the baby I don’t think I’d ever forgive myself if they went into care etc it probably be a struggle but that baby’s blood .. there no other family members that can help? X

  • Would it be permanent you would have the baby? I can imagine it would be difficult but most children in care grow up & there confused & it messes with there head been passed around its your choice if you think you could deal with having stressful days and taking the baby on or worrying about the baby growing up in care & been passed around or if adoption broke down they feel like no one cares/loves/wants them. My partner was in care passed around lied to & never felt love x

  • It’s your niece or nephew and your children’s cousin …it is not unfair to anyone but the baby if they place baby with strangers instead of family ….If you can’t do it maybe you know of other family that can….

  • I was in this situation…I took the baby.. don’t get me wrong it was and still is hard work but isn’t motherhood in general…
    Now 11 years later I couldn’t imagine life without him xx

  • I wouldn’t even be considering…. I would have taken the baby instantly. This baby needs a loving home, your kids will adapt in no time
