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


Since this is a soap, I don’t have a problem with Hope walking away if this adoption was somehow thrown out. Thomas will have no more reason to come around and bother Hope/Lope. And less interactions with nasty Steffy/Taylor, the better for Hope anyway. Besides, Douglas will end up in the attic like all the other kids once this story is over. LOL.


he's already in the attic throughout most of the story, upstairs drawing, pottery lessons with steffy, he was with steffy today too, and when he's with hope he spends most of his time with donna :lol
this story is pointless

Yeah, but Thomas and his family are the ones kept claiming he wants to spend more quality time with Douglas, yet Douglas spent MORE time with others instead of daddy. :drunk

Shown on screen, Steffy blackmailed Bill. Yet, she told Ivy (and Liam too) that “blackmail is a crime”. Per Steffy’s own words, she IS a criminal cuz she has blackmailed.
