Tell them that giving up does not make things better. We gave up after over a year and not even in Family Court yet. We gave up and waited for another referral. We couldn't stop thinking about our daughter, who would adopt her now, what was she doing, how we wished we hadn't given up. One night, while waiting for a new referral, another 3 months later, we came across the photolisting of our daughter that we had given up on. She was with another agency and that agency was trying to place her after our "failed" adoption. We decided this was our second chance and no matter what, we'd see this through, so we called the agency and continued with our adoption. It took another 1 1/2 years, but she's home with us now and she was always meant to be our daughter. Giving up does not make your pain easier to bear, your friend will be in more pain than if she just hung in there. It will eventually all work out, maybe not in the timeframe she had originally planned, but it will work out.
