Risky Adoption

Hello Everyone: I'm new here and I'm trying to find answers to my questions about adopting an infant. Just this week, I met with a birthmother about adopting her baby (due next month.) She seems to be very sincere about wanting a good family for her baby (which we can provide), but I'm conflicted about several aspects of her situation. First, she's a mother of three and cannot financially afford a fourth child. Her family does not know about this baby, and the birthmother doesn't feel they have a need to know. Second, the BF is known, but she has also decided not to let him know about the pregnancy or that she is planning to put up the baby for adoption. I know that the decision is ultimately hers, but I can't help but feeling that something is just not right about this situation. Are my feelings/intuition justified, or am I expecting too much?

Thank you.
