I believe that if Dept. of Social Service thought that her sister was irresponsible that they would find that out in the background checks and the home study that required to adopt a child. I think that if the sister is fully qualified that the child should be placed with family. What about her sister is she married? And if she is is her husband required all you mention in the article is her and not if she has someone else to assist her like other family members. I am really interested in this story and hope that the right choices are made for the child sake. We will be praying for her.
