Am I missing something here Oldtimer? How would that hurt Cassidy? You think Mike is adopting her because he wanted another kid? He's doing it to give her a better life I assume ...even if it's just for a little while it'd still give her something.Oldtimer said:I doubt whether you could get legal adoption-- probably just a custody situation...And the problem I've encountered with custody-- even long term "permanent" custody's- is that they (the courts) always will give the birthparents back the child, if/when they can show the've straightened their act up a little bit and come in demanding it-- and I've seen folks that have raised kids for years get their hearts broken when the kids were tore away from them....
