The woman’s husband did not side with her and told her that it was “inhumane” to stop his mother from seeing their kids
The poster and her husband did not have these concerns. They truly made their adopted daughter, Julia, a part of their family.

I’ve talked to him about how Julia wasn’t brought to us the same way he was but I made sure to tell him this doesn’t make Julia any less of his sister or our daughter.”
