Fom my understanding and what we are able to find out here, that the child has been given the choice of who to be with at this time. She chose her biological mother. There is a court hearing set for Dec 15th to make more determinations.
Eight years of a childs life is a very long time and this is probably very confusing to her.
This would be a time, for Vivian, of very hard decisions about a an extremely delicate situation and there is a lot to be considered.
I can't help but feel a bit of outrage for the BM either, but, my feelings are not important. I am extremely proud of Viv. She is showing wisdom and courage at this point.
I hope this works out well for Vivian, but, I hope it works out best for the child.
Hard desicions!
