Okay I hope that this is the appropriate section to put this in.

The question is if you adopted a 10 year old child and you was their legal guardian obviously, well fast forward 6 years later and you both started having feelings for each other what would you do? Do you think of it as a form of incest? Would you want The Police to arrest you and your 16 year old adopted child?

For me personally I find it tricky, you've adopted the child and treat them as your child, and then all of sudden you start to develop feelings for them, imo as it's not blood relation I don't think that the law should get involved personally, but it does sound kinda icky to me.

..but if you think of them as your child though, how would any sexual feelings develop...

Yes that would be very weird, but not unheard of I suppose, didn't Woody Allen do this?

he is also accused raping another adopted daughter.

I think the whole thing is creepy.

Yeah, my feelings too.

I think it would be extremely inappropriate to start a relationship with a child you adopted and raised since they were 10. 16 is still a child in my eyes and it would be a complete abuse of the position you took on to protect them when you agreed to become their parent

This. No more to be said.
