In many cultures, adoption is seen as a way to extend family love and care. When the mother-in-law treats the adopted child as her own grandson and is reluctant to give him away, it shows her deep affection for the family and her selfless love for the child.
At the legal level, adoption usually involves a series of procedures, including but not limited to an application, background checks, court proceedings, and finally legal certification. Once the adoption process is complete, the adoption relationship is legally equivalent to the relationship between the biological parents and the child. This means that adopted children enjoy the same rights and protections as biological children, including inheritance, custody and educational opportunities.
If the mother-in-law wants to continue the relationship with ***, she should ensure that all legal formalities are in place and that the interests of the child are aligned.
In addition, she needs to consider the child's feelings and best interests, communicate and negotiate with the child's biological parents (if any) and other relevant parties.
When dealing with such situations, it is advisable to seek professional legal advice to ensure that all actions are carried out in accordance with local laws and that the rights and well-being of the child are also protected.
