In their late 20s, a married couple faced an unexpected situation when the wife decided to take in her sister’s three children. The shock of this decision led to a week-long argument between the couple. The wife’s sister, guilty of dealing illicit substances, faced a long sentence, leaving her two boys aged four and a girl aged fourteen in need of care.
The wife, without consulting her husband, offered their home. The husband agreed, stipulating adoption for the children but opposed taking in the troubled niece due to safety concerns. A social worker advised reconsideration, emphasizing the need for realistic expectations and therapy for the boys.
