A decade long battle for adoption, can they reconcile now?
A tragic loss at a young age and a second chance at a new family is all that a child could ask for, but what if they refuse to accept it? This post_text tells us about a man who refused his stepmother's offer to adopt him for over a decade, despite intense therapy sessions and court hearings. The man's father and stepmother tried to convince him, but he never appreciated their efforts. Even after he turned 18, they tried to adopt him, but he refused again, causing chaos at a family party. Can this family reconcile after years of miscommunication and misunderstanding? Let's dive into the comments and find out.
