Ma'am we have recently adopted a 6 months old baby. He is my distant relatives' son. She already has 2 sons and she didnt want the third child. Ma'am I am little scared, when my child will grow up, and when he would realise the truth, that she is his actual mother, would he get angry with me, will he want to go back to them? Should we move out of this place and move to a new city? I don't want to loose my child at any cost. Please advise.

Ma'am what are the future prospects of this kind of a family dynamics with an adopted child? Does the adopted child and the foster parents along with their family members, accept each other whole heartedly. Or the adopted child always has this feeling that they are adopted and hence on a backfoot?

Namstey Madam! How is the relationship between the biological child and the adopted child when they grow up? Since the adopted child carry a different set of genes altogether, does it have an impact on their behaviour and thereby adjustment in the family ? I already have a 6 year old son planning to adopt a baby girl. I want to know the pros and cons of adopting a baby. Looking forward to your inputs. Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
