I e-mailed my aunt to see about what she thought about us adopting Noah. When everything happened last time, she agreed we would be best for Noah. But I knew it would kill her to be so far away from him. They live in MT we live where ever the army sends us. I assured her she would be apart of his life, as his grandmother and that we would make every effort to left him go spend time with her during the summer. I knew she was still torn, but ultimately decided she couldn't raise him. Well then my cousin seemed to straighten up, she got a job again and was taking care of Noah. I could tell my aunt was relieved so I never asked my cousin to give him up to us. Honestly, I am not sure she would have given him to us.
This time my aunt has decided it would be too painful for him to go and doesn't want us to pursue the adoption. If my cousin loses him altogether, my aunt and uncle will assume custody. My aunt is still holding out hope that my cousin will get away from this guy and get some help, eventually regaining custody. I really am not sure she even wants her son, in the beginning I would have said yes she wanted him and in the beginning she was a wonderful mother. Part of her problems are her parents, they have never given her any consequences for getting pregnant at 16. My aunt watched him all day while my cousin was at school, she watched him at night while my cousin worked, she got up with him in the middle of the night cause my cousin "had to get her sleep", and she even watched him on Friday or Saturday nights when my cousin wanted to party. It was ridiculous. It was like saying here have your cake and eat it too. They paid all of her bills and all of his. When she was pregnant she went to the freaking Royalty dance at 8mths pregnant, they had to buy her a special dress, it was GORGEOUS.
There have never been any consequences to her actions, until now. And now? She is paying a HUGE price and personally I feel no sympathy for her whatsoever. And I? Will never forget or forgive what she has done to that poor innocent child, she is lucky nothing bad happened to him. But as usual, her parents are there to take care of him for her, to clean up her mess. Hopefully a couple of weeks in jail will do her some good. She may learn to be a little less selfish and I surely hope she realizes just what she has done and why she was so wrong.

I don't even know what to say. Maybe your aunt and uncle will do a better job this time around, or maybe they'll realize they aren't cut out for it again. Either way, I hope the poor child gets a better break!
