I am not entirely opposed, just want Yuma to be treated with a bit more care. She lived the last while raised by a Bird, not by Best Big Sis Kyoko and so should be treated with a bit more attention put on HER feelings, at least IMO.

Let me put it this way: Yuma's life situation was so bad she shrug off the witchbomb, additionally, Homura does know her and will probably be able to tell us quite fast if she feels unable to take care of her.

Also, consider the following:
Yuma on Homura's pendulum.

I don't think it can be called a punishment - it doesn't seem to do them any significant harm.

As for Yuma.

While it would probably benefit Homura under certain conditions, right now she's at a pretty low point - she's admitted to deliberately trying to push others away because it hurts too much. She's not exactly capable of taking care of herself, and I don't think it's fair to ask Yuma to actually play Homura's therapist. Especially considering her own issues with neglect, and the fact that due to watching (stalking) Madoka, Homura won't have much time to devote to her. And the fact that Homura is pretty bad with communication. It has a chance to work, but more chances to make it worse.

Kyoko is a good option, but unfortunately, X can't know about it.

X and Mami are in my opinion the best option - firstly, there are two of them, which means it is much easier for them to pay attention to her. Also, Mami and Yuma's problems are similar - both are afraid of being pushed away, but Yuma is actually much more emotionally resilient, and can keep Mami from her emotional breakdown.

Besides, it's kind of unfair to dump your worries on others.

Ain't that what punishing bird ussually does?
The pecking is annoying and does minimal damage, basically like getting slapped
Figured that would count considering tweetys modus operandi

We kind of whacked her with "get better" abnormality psycho-surgery. We didn't do too much, but it still had an immediate impact.

Yes, but as you yourself noticed, we have just begun to work with a whole range of problems that Homura has experienced over ten years of her desperate and extremely traumatic struggle. We are nowhere close to stating that she will be fine. She'll be there eventually if we keep helping her, but right now I don't think these two traumatized kids will be okay together.

And I agree that if Homura realizes this isn't working for her and decides to give up custody of Yuma, that would be basically the worst possible outcome.

--[x] Be sure to tell her that you will be avalaible to help her if she wants it, and that you are not forcing her, if she tries and don't seems to manage, you won't reproach anything to her as long as she tells you so.
-[x] if she doesn't agree, take her with you and Mami.
 
I have to agree with Observer and co. Having Yuma and Homu interact would probably be beneficial, but they're both a bit too... I wouldn't say fragile, but it's the best term I can think of at the moment so we'll say fragile- A bit too fragile at the moment for me to think the risk is worth it. I think X and Mami, surprise adoptive parents would be a better plan TBH.

But whoever it was that mentioned that the ideal scenario would be Madoka getting an adopted little sister? You're absolutely right but talking to the Kanames would be... a bag of worms I'm not sure we're equipped to deal with in a good way beyond just dropping all the relevant cards on the table (Magical Girls are real, I used to work for a mysterious company and some real shit's about to go down because some of our basement monsters are wandering around, one of which has decided to hand me this lost child).

Although that might not be the worst thing to do, if we do ever talk to them. Madoka's family is Awesome™️ and having them In The Know could actually be really helpful on multiple fronts, including having X not be the only Reasonable Authority Figure stuck running around herding all these Magical Girl-shaped cats. That said, however, I imagine such talks would go over much better if X weren't trying to drop a surprise third child on them.

While I like the Homu, she values her free time (stalking Madoka) too much to safely take care of the small green child.
 
Going to voice more support for X and Mami. Homura is a kid that's berely holding herself together, she's only kind of bathing and feeding herself, that's no state to be taking care of another kid. As funny as it would be to watch Yuma drive her up the wall, that's not good for either of them.

Madoka's parents are awesome, but a stranger who's been hanging around their oldest asking them to take care of a random kid is not going to provoke a positive reaction. They'd be a lot more stable, but we don't have any kind of relationship with them.

X and Mami aren't a perfect pick, but between the two of them they're pretty good. Set her up with some home learning programs on the computer during the day and spend time with her and Mami in the evening.

I think we'll need to find a way to include them on the masquerade, actually, I think the fact that Hitomi is probably going to show up *very happy* tomorrow, if she even decide to take time away from her new favorite plant, is going to help there, nothing like seeing that, yes, it can and will affect those close to you regardless of their level of knowledge, to make them think about explaining to their parents, something I will encourage when it happens.

Just want to point out that Homura canonically takes care of the cat that Madoka would have wished to save, she might not be the best at taking care of herself, but she's paradoxically better at taking care of others in this case.

And Yuma is probably easier to take care of than a cat anyway. :V

I haven't seen that cat around, nor have I ever heard that before. She saves the cat, not takes care of them.

It just feels kinda weird to take her with us and Mami when Mami already is a minor living alone (okay, now we're there too but we're... us...) Seems better to ask the others what to do. Gives Madoka something to do to help that should be safe as well.

You know I don't think people typically talk about the kids support networks. This might be a little off-topic but Sayaka's parents are probably going to notice the ID that based on descriptors reveals a load of private information. As well as the established defensiveness she displays when it's addressed.

As for the topic of child housing I'm not sure anyone we know is really up for the task. In-character Kyoko as far as we know is only in it for herself, Mami outright encourages people to contact though I doubt she would if we asked her not too though QB still has sway over her too if I'm not mistaken and X isn't always around to run interference, Sayaka is wreckless and lacks in emotional intelligence, Homura lacks stability and social skills of any descriptor, and Madoka can't exactly bring a stranger home (Which also applies to Sayaka). I guess I feel a bit better about the Mami and X option.
And yeah, space ferret is no bueno.

Of course I may have missed or misremembered something. I'll be the first to admit I don't fully trust my judgments here.

Edit: Forgot about foster care, though given that the girl A) has potential as a magical girl and B) has been in the company of an abnormality I suspect QB might be aware of her already. I think that options about on par with outright leaving her with the ferret.
