Dear Abby Advice on Custody and Independence
Questioner seeks to adopt Nicole's baby to provide a stable home while mother weighs the needs of the unborn child. Advice urges focusing on the child’s welfare, acknowledging potential upheaval, and suggests accepting the mother’s decision or pursuing another adoption if needed. A second letter concerns a daughter’s independence and a mother’s controlling behavior, advising humor to deflect, setting boundaries, and reducing contact if manipulation continues.
