Anyone who adopts needs to read Primal Wound by Nancy Verrier.
I got angry, very angry.
When I married my wife, she already had two children from her first marriage. She married young and foolishly. Her first husband was a complete POS.
When I asked her hand in marriage, I had already decided beforehand these two boys would be treated as sons, nothing less. I treated them as equals when I had other children. As a matter of fact my oldest daughter didn't know they were her step brothers until she was 10 years old.
To do ANYTHING else would be totally unfair to them and appallingly shallow of me.
For this women to give up on this child after one year is beyond cruel, it is a reflection of what her real goal in life is, which is to fulfill her selfish needs.
When this child failed to so that very thing, she threw her to the street.
