Hello dear marketing friend. I think it advisable for you to talk about it with your husband because when you both could reach a harmonious agreement, it would be alright for this adopted son of yours to come and stay with you. Otherwise it is still better to have him stay together with your sister till one day he is old enough to get married to have his own family. I hope that this can be fixed happily. Good luck.

i too agree with monkeyrose. first of all, you yourself need to be prepared. if you think that you can't give the stability or love or anything that your son needs, then it's best not to get his hopes up. try and think of alternatives that will be good for him. but if you feel that yes, i can care for him too, i love him too, then i believe that your son would be more than happy. not only would he get your love, he'd also be secure with you.

yes you should get his permission first too. both of you should be willing if not, then there will be complications. good luck.

I think it is kind of cool that he wants to get close to you. I also think it depends on how you feel about it all. How old is the child now? I have never been in your spot but I think that if I gave up a child for adoption and if that child ever sought me out, then I think I'd feel at least obligated to give him some time and answers. I don't believe i'd turn him down.

This is a tough decision to make, but, I think you should give it a try. Maybe, you can let him know that he is welcome to visit you, and then if things go well, then maybe, if you can, let him stay with you. If not, just make sure he feels that he's welcome in your life, after all,it was you who adopted him.

Absolutely! He is your child and your responsibility. Your responsibility to him comes first, above everything and anyone else. He needs to be with you!

Yes, I do think that you should take him with you. I know you adopted him when you were very young and perhaps you didn't consider about the future. Since you have adopted him, then you are always his mother and it's your responsibility to take good care of him. And I know you get married and perhaps one day you will have your own child, but he is still your son. I feel moved when he says he misses you. I know nobody want to be abandoned. So please take him with you and I hope all of you will live happily together.

I think you should definately think about it. You need to be prepared for everything. This must be a difficult time for your son as his grandparents just passed away. He probably needs someone close to him. As long as you can create some kind of stability for him in the country you are living in I say yes... take him with you.

The first thing you should do is have an opne honest discussion with your husband and find how how he would feel about this and then talk to your son. He is obviously missing you, but is also feeling sad at the loss of his grandparents. If it is not possible for him to come live with you then at least he still has a stable family life with your sister. Good luck. Ellie :D
