    You are under no obligation to raise that kid. Its not yours. If you don't want, you don't want.

  • Ghanaman 9 months ago

    Since you have already decided to divorce your husband, the issue of adopting his child is not even up for consideration.

    How about this, since you were willing and ready to adopt one in the near future, why don’t you consider making this one your own especially considering the fact that he’s motherless now. There’s a lot more blessing in ...

    Francis, what should be done to enforce your comprehension that she does not and will never love that child? Once a woman voices that out, she won't step away from it. You don't love someone, you don't love them.

    You have never been betrayed before. Even a little hint would be appreciable.
