But in some cases the kid in question is still really young.
I could understand a kid in his teens being old enough to make the sort of decision for him/herself, but not in a case with a young child.
I think its more an option of opening up options. If the MAN B is able to take the child in that scenario he should be able to instead of the kid ending up in the state system or with relatives who have anarguably lesser connection to the kid.
