That in my mind brings us back around to...shouldn't the involved people be the only ones to make their own decisions?
This troubles me about this whole part of the conversation....if that happens, shouldn't this happen? God, I just don't feel qualified. Neither should the government. I can envision all kinds of scenerios, some of which I know real cases about.

Full disclosure, I was Mom to my husband's blood child, our younger daughter, from the time she was 3 months old. We were glad when her other mom (they weren't married thank god) dropped out all the way for the most part (short version). Gary would have never turned his back on her. Me either.
