like you said, imlie needs to grow but she cannot unless she acknowledges and understands her mistakes. for that to happen, the CVs need to stop showing her as mahaan and need to stop showing her saviour complex as something good. instead, they need to show that it is self-destructive.
and I agree with you that decisions like adoptions need to be a family decision, not something that can be decided by one person. sometimes, it will require multiple people.
I know of a family who decided to adopt a girl and add to their family. (they already had natural children). because this child is over 5, she was interviewed by child services to see whether she would be willing to join this family. the parents also talked to their natural children and asked if they would be comfortable with them adopting this girl. so not only adults but even children need to come on board with a decision in order to make it work.
as a joint family, it means that imlie should be getting the feels of everyone before she jumps into a lifelong decision of adoption. she can't randomly decide on her own and expect aryan to tag along. he is not a doll. 🤷
