Wait adopt him??? Uhhh idk about that. Wouldn’t marriage be the answer?
I think they meant papers to adopt the kid so they’d all be an official family; like to ask ho to be his family by adopting the kid so they’d co-parent on paper
marriage IS better considering they can just go to the states BUT there are many cases where same-sex couples have adopted their partners in places where same-sex marriage isn’t legal. basically, adult adoption was the only way to legally recognize family relationships. whether that be for insurance, inheritance rights, etc, if anything were to happen to one of them. kinda like in hospitals when they ask if ur related to the patient (whether to see them or make any emergency decisions like surgery.) neither of them have parents so it makes sense to think about legal alternatives. it would even help with the baby bc legally, they would ALL be related now so haebom can have some guardianship over the baby if something happens to ho.
Maybe the papers are for adoption? Like he will ask Ho to be part of this family ?
