Oh ((((( Ledgewood & Nephew )))))) what a difficult thing to have to go through....both of you

Is there anyone else in your family that could give your nephew a stable environment while you still give him your love and attention without the responsibilities of raising him in your home?

It's not the end of the world if you cannot take him in. I know it will break your heart, but you have responsibilities to yourself, your g/f and your own children and that's a lot in and of itself.

Is it possible that if he has to go into foster care you could still have a close relationship with him? Is it possible to have him in your home for a short time until other suitable arrangements are made? Wow, so many questions isn't there?

Take your time and breathe....ask questions, do research, search your heart and your gut and talk with your g/f. See if there is some kind of plan you can make. I'm sure others here will have other ideas for you to think about too.

I don't envy your situation as this is so difficult for all concerned. I do so hope you are able to come up with a workable plan for everyone. Know that my thoughts are with you and I'll keep you all in my prayers.
