Is it a good idea to take a child from foster parents who want to adopt him?
Hmm, that’s a good point and it got me thinking. So I have to add something.
If this boy grew up with a foster family right from his birth I would agree completely that he should stay with them. But here we have another situation. First he lived with his mom until he was about five, I believe. Then he bounced around in foster homes until at last he ended with his current foster family. So it is not, as if Robin would be yanked away from a family he grew up with and put in any other foster family. He would live with his “dad”, and I think Clark would make a terrific dad. (And Lois a fantastic mother, for that matter.) Sure, it would need some adjusting, but I believe Robin won’t make a bad deal. He is still young and able to adjust.
I believe every child has the right to know, who his parents are and, if possible grow up with them. Especially in Robin’s case his heritage plays an important role, since he is not only the son of Clark Kent but also of Superman and he easily could inherit the powers. Is it really sensible to let other people deal with that? And, more important how will Robin feel if he grows up in a foster family and his real dad builds a family of his own, with more kids. Won’t he feel excluded? Is it really fair towards Robin, to rob him of the opportunity to grow up with his dad and (assuming he has superpowers) with siblings of his own kind? In a surrounding where everyone will understand his special abilities and how to deal with them?
Another thing is that I can’t imagine Clark to give up the opportunity to raise his own son, to have someone of his own flesh, to love him, support him and teach him. He is the only of his kin so far, and Clark can’t be sure if he ever can have children with Lois. So I believe he probably would always regret, if he would give his (only) son away for adoption.
Well, just my two cents, don’t take this too serious, I can understand if someone feels Robin should stay with his foster family.
And I’m still waiting curious, how the story will continue.
