IMO, by helping her to be self-sufficient during her pregnancy, maybe by the time the baby is born she can choose adoption (or not) from a position of relative strength.

Again, I don't agree with housing of expectant parents by potential adoptive parents but there are situations in which an expectant parent cannot take advantage of these things. The system is not flawless. We must keep that in mind before setting wide sweeping "rules."
