I don't find this to be good advice. If she had decided to parent, she then might have been left with feelings of guilt due to separating, emotionally, from the child during the pregnancy. I find it vastly important for expectant Mothers considering adoption to treat their pregnancies (and to have others treat their pregancies) as normal as possible. Do a pregnancy journal. Make memories. Quilt something, if that's your bag. Etc. You have a lifetime to grieve. Make the most of the time you have with the child.
But Amen on the counseling.
