Mazel Tov to taking on such a responsibility. There will be a place in heaven for such good deeds.

I have no experience in such issues, but I would wait as long as you can before she can see him; even if that is several years. Let the child grow in a nuturing and protective enironment and then I think you'll be able to determine what is appropriate down the road for him.

It's going to take some time for him to grow above this, but with grown kids and strong family as you sound like, I think he'll end up fine. I would caution pandering too child much like he's damaged goods. Treat him as normal and be a good parent as I know you will be.

Thank you all for the warm regards and advice. Some I'll use others I will consider but all is appreciated. I just found out sperm doner just got arrested again...

Anyway, if anybody cares to shar some perspective from the child point of view that would be great as the child is the most important equaton in this situation.

I really do hope biomom gets it together and leaves him (SD) in the dust and moves in a positive direction.

hanks again guy.

I'm proud of you Tony.

I've never been through anything like this from either side of the equation. Can't even imagine all of the decisions and dilemmas that lie ahead for you. My only advice is to focus solely on what's best for your nephew.

Your family will be in my prayers for strength and wisdom. God bless you.
