If this adoption is overturned then Hope should walk away

If a judge throws out the adoption papers, that would mean Douglas no longer has a legal living mother. And I am going to be cruel here, but why would Hope want to keep mothering a child she no longer has any say-so over where he goes to school, where he lives, nothing? Basically, the Hamilton monsters would be saying they want her to be his back up nanny. It would break her heart, but for her own well being, if this comes to pass, she should sever all ties with Douglas and Tom both. Why make herself more vulnerable to Taylor and Steffy's cruelty? It would make no sense at all. It would be devastating to Douglas, but as Taylor and Steffy seem to feel right now, he does not need a mother, especially Hope. So IMHO if this were my daughter, and as hard as it would be, I would advise her to let the child go, mourn him, and then move on, because I would not want my child to suffer anymore at the hands of the Hamilton monsters. All Hope could do then is pray that they would love Douglas enough not to ruin him. But, I doubt that he would stand much of a chance with these cruel and dangerous Hamilton's. I would hope that Liam and Brooke would have the good sense to counsel Hope to just walk away. She can still love him, and be there for him if he wants to talk to her, but if they get their way in this cruelty, Hope should not allow herself to be their victim anymore. It is one thing to sacrifice your life to save your child's life, but that is not the case here. Douglas will be with Eric and Donna, and Donna will protect him as best she can, but Hope should walk away and cease to be his mother figure in any way. JMHO

If Douglas was really the reason why Thomas is dojng it, maybe. But it's clear he has something else on his mind. He can hardly hide his obsession. Between his sick kiss fantasy last week and his conversation with Liam today, I've seen enough . He could hardly deny it today, when Liam accused him!!!

I was totally against this Hope-Douglas thing in the beginning. Hope looked as obsessed with Douglas as Thomas with her. But it has been years now. She is the only mother he knows, I never hear him mentionning Caroline. And Liam was a father figure until today. Why should they abandon him after all those years?
