Okay to live with adoptive parents?
This situation is a bit complicated, but I'll try to outline it as briefly as possible. :rolleyes:
As many of you know, I was raised in foster care, never adopted. After I was emancipated, around the age of 18, I became very close to a friend's parents, to the point where I now consider them real parents. They are very involved in my life. This is very, very important to me... because I was raised in foster care, I have a hard time trusting people and when I do trust and get close it is a really big deal. So they are extremely special to me.
Fast forward to today... I am almost 27, married, pregnant with my first child, and my husband and I have adopted our niece and nephew (ages 6 and 4), whose parents recently died in a tragic accident. We have 2 dogs, a cat and 2 guinea pigs. We are currently looking for a house for the whole shebang.
In the meantime, we are living at my adoptive parents' house. They are not here; they spend the winters in Victoria and were happy to have someone watch the house for them while they were gone. They are coming back May 1, and that's when we were hoping to find a place to live.
Well this morning I spoke to my adoptive mom, and they have found a very nice house in Victoria which they would like to purchase. They would then stay in Victoria year round, and sell their house here, the one we are currently staying in. To make a long story short, they want to sell us their house! The house is everything we've ever dreamed of, perfect location, nice yard, more than big enough for everyone, etc. The only drawback is, as they are coming back here in May, we would have to live in the same house with them for 5 months, while they pack up stuff and prepare to leave. They are fine with that and five months doesn't seem like a really long time, and I really love them, but I'm worried we will fight or something, and the relationship will sour.
Probably I'm being overly paranoid, but given that I was in foster care, relationships and trust are always a huge issue for me. Anyway my question is, is it okay to live with them for these few months? We really want their house, it's perfect! And it would be highly inconvenient to move everyone somewhere else for the summer, especially since I am giving birth in June! Any thoughts are appreciated.
