My MIL told me she wanted to adopt my baby. I was so stunned, I rushed home to tell my husband. He called her for answers. I was shocked to know that m
y husband agreed with his mom! I was even more shocked to discover that my MIL didn’t waste a second—she immediately sent a lawyer to draw up all the papers as soon as possible.
I was in disbelief. My husband explained why she wanted to adopt Ethan. Apparently, for the past few weeks, my MIL had been having the same dream over and over again. She didn’t want to frighten us with her dreams, but as they kept repeating, she thought it was a sign that she needed to act.
In the dream, my husband and I were in a terrible car accident, and we didn’t survive. She said it was so vivid and repetitive that it felt like a warning—a prediction she couldn’t ignore. She was convinced that it wasn’t just a nightmare, but something that would eventually come true.
Even if nothing happens and the dream turns out to be just that—a dream—she felt that she needed to take this step. After all, who else would take care of Ethan after us as parents? We don’t have any other close relatives, so in a way, her request started to make a bit of sense.
Now, I can’t help but wonder—maybe she’s right to think ahead about our baby’s future. Is it worth considering these things, even while we’re alive, just to ensure he’s secure?
