Well, I would probably encourage her to tell her family. They may be able/willing to help her and may be intersted in raising the baby themselves, which could come back to haunt you prior to finalization - but you are 100% right it is her choice on that and there are reasons that women don't tell their families.

HOWEVER - the BF has to be told. Have you talked to an attorney? Do you know the BF's name? The baby is half his, and if you do adopt this baby, father's rights vary from state to state, but he very well may have the right (if he has the desire) to raise the baby. If not, then your attorney will need to make sure that his rights are legally terminated along with hers, or you could run into big problems down the road.

If it were me, I would definately get in touch with an attorney, and get her in touch with an attorney.

Is she getting any counseling?
