My husband had a much younger sister who is pregnant at 18yrs old. She has asked us to adopt her child because she doesn't feel she can take care of the child and that she wants the child to have the best life possible. This is also a good answer for her so that see can proceed to college and be able to continue her life on the path she planned.

We have lots of questions and fears. We are not able to have children ourselves and this is allowing the family to take a negative situation and turn it into a positive. The child's father does not want anything to do with the child or the mother.

My question is has anyone done this? What can you reccomend? How did you handle the birth mother post giving birth? Did you all go to councling?
