Adoption

[melv16]

I've put several posts on here over the last two years or so, about the trials and tribulations over my daughter adopting my two grandaugters.
Anyway, everything is going fine with the newest grandaugter. Final paperwork will be signed next month with a celebration hearing and christening to follow.
That was the good news. The bad news is that the birth mother is pregnant again and is due in August. Obviously, my daughter can't take another baby on, but would like to do so.
Other than forcibly sterilising the mother, what can be done to stop this poor girl having babies?

Nothing!

It is an awful situation for your daughter.

Hopefully, the mother can come to her senses (doubt it) or get to an age where she can no longer breed.

I wonder if 'the authorities' can, legally, force her to be sterilised. My wee lad, Frankie, had no say in it when they castrated him - hasn't done him much harm. :-)

Seriously though she is just going to keep breeding. :-(

I imagine she will carry on for as long as they keep being taken away from her. I don't know the situation, but somebody needs to move in with her, whether she likes it or not, frankly, and support and teach her how to be a parent and do whatever they can to keep them together. This is cruel.

in the UK, nothing while she is deemed mentally competent.
