My concern wouldn’t be whether the father was in jail, as a reason to adopt the kid out, but whether the biological family had the means to care for the child.
I don’t want to live in a society where we rip kids out of families because they aren’t quite perfect.
Agreed.
” but whether the biological family had the means to care for the child.”
That should almost always be one of the deciding factors in a custody battle. The parent who works and pays the majority of the bills should be the one with primary custody.
The government supports millions of families who don’t have the means to take care of their kids.
