Other important things
58.X and Y’s mum would like me to let her look after them. It is very sad that I haven’t been able to agree to that. She is their mum and if there was any way she could care for them safely she should be allowed to do so. My job is to put X and Y first at all times. Sadly the problems that I have read about were so serious that I decided these orders had to be made – the law says I should not make such a serious decision unless there is no other option. I don’t think there is another option that is good enough for X and Y.59.I would like N to know that I understand she loves X and Y very much. I know she has attended contact which has been very nice. I know that she has done her best and X and Y will know that too when they are older.60.I would like N to meet the adopters if this is possible so that they can see that she is a nice person.61.N’s lawyer and intermediary are going to read this through with her. I’ve tried to write it simply, so that she can understand it with help.District Judge Hesford 11 February 2022
