Hello. I'd like a bit of advice or just general views from others with experience in this. I have three children of my own and I have been trying to gain care of a family member who last week was diagnosed with having hepatitis c passed onto her from her birth mother. She is currently 7 months old. I have been reading about the illness and understand a lot about it. However other family members have reacted quite negatively and told me I am putting my own children at risk if I choose to continue my application. I can provide the little one with the care she needs, I understand how the virus is transmitted and believe that I can protect my other children. However others say I am wrong and stupid for even considering it. Any thoughts or opinions most welcome please.!
