Totally agree Wingnut!

I agree with you Apple that my mom should be told. That is why I am asking the question. I just don't want to be the one to tell my mom because I'm not the one who should in the first place. I think it should be my dad or like Gwen said his Bishop if it is too hard for my dad to say it. What I care about right now is that my mom isn't hurt because no one told her about my dad being sealed to my brother that passed away as a baby, for he has no voice here on Earth. And it would hurt my mom. My mom and my dad were never sealed together, only with their new spouses and recently. Both my parents took a very long time to get where they are today... lots of mistakes. I'm very proud of them that they have repented and did what was right to get to be sealed to their new spouses. It was a sheer coincidence that they did it near the same time (within a month of each other) although they have nothing to do with each other anymore and haven't for 25 years. My older brother is 40 and if he doesn't want to tell my mom, that is his choice. I'm not going to say anything, it isn't my business. But I know if he doesn't, she will be very sad that he didn't tell her to begin with.

I see your point MarinOfError. I'm not choosing now or anytime soon. It is for sure food for thought in the future.

MarginOfError, I know I can be sealed to my husband and not be sealed to my parents but I know that there is an importance to being sealed to one's parents so I wish to be. I'm not planning on telling my mom... it isn't my place. But I think I will talk to my dad.

Thank you Wingnut and HaveJoy! That helps a lot! Still... my question... do I call and ask my Dad to tell my Mom?

I am 28 years old and have had this decision (who to choose) plague me for many years. I have never heard of being able to be sealed to both sets of parents (and their spouses) after they were divorced. I have only ever known I could be sealed to one set of parents. That is my parents understanding too. I would like to know if that is true. My parents are my parents, my step parents are my step parents. I have no adoptive parents.

Stepmother too.

This isn't a question about who should be sealed to a baby that passed away. But more of a moral obligation question. My dad and my mom divorced around 25 years ago. They had several children, but one baby (middle child) died at only 4 months old. After their divorce, they both remarried but only recently were sealed to their spouses. My parents had a very hard divorce and can barely stand to be near each other... they don't talk even at family events. They are not only still anger with one another, I think they are a bit bitter. My sibling are now deciding who to be sealed to. I just heard that my oldest brother is going to be sealed to my dad next week along with my brother that passed away as a baby. My older brother hasn't had the courage to tell my mom but that is for him to decide. But my mom also doesn't know about my other brother that died being sealed to my dad. In the past, my mom has said to me in private that she doesn't care who he is sealed to as long as he is sealed to one of them. The problem is... my dad hasn't told my mom that he is going to have my brother that died sealed to him. I don't want to tell my mom because it will crush her and she will be angry. Do I call my dad and ask him to tell her or do I stay out of it? I don't want to get in the middle but I don't want my mom to get hurt yet again.
