Ledgewood, you really have a difficult decision to make. You have two infant sons to think about and I know you are. You say there is no other family to take care of the boy and that puts even more pressure on you and your girlfriend I am sure. If you do not think you can take on another responsibility then you probably should not. You certainly dont want to make your nephew feel that he is a burden. And I am sure if you put him in foster care he will be hurt and that will make you feel worse. But if that is your choice it is important for him to know that you have not forgotten him. I would make sure you have scheduled visitation with him. This way he will know that on this weekend or this Saturday he will be with his family, - you! It may be wise to get him into some type of counseling also. He will have many feelings to vent I am sure. I do not envy your position. But I am so proud of you for many changes that you are trying to make. You have taken on many responsibilites for a man your age. I hope you are able to make a decision that will be the best for everyone involved. Good luck my best thoughts and prayers are with you
