I think that we have already discussed adoption issues at length and there's nothing further to add that hasn't already been said. It really is down to your judgement now to decide whether you are going to let this family adopt one of your hamsters or not.
As i said before, i only let a hamster go when i'm a 100% sure that it is a suitable forever home. If not, then i turn people down. Fact is, the majority of people i have turned down because i'm prepared to keep a hamster indefinately until the right person applies. If that doesn't happen then i'm prepared to give the hamster a good life myself for the duration of its natural life.
That is the kind of commitment you have to make when taking in hamsters for rehoming.
