adoption stigma in aa families

Is it a big stigma?
I know of a bmom who went through a lot of torture during the adoption process from her family. She was completely sure on her adoption plan. She had the baby and had to stay in the hospital for a few days and they kept pressuring her and calling and coming over till she had to say no guests allowed! They told her she would be punished by god and it wouldve been better to abort the baby. It's not that they wanted the baby they weren't going to adopt him or take care of him themselves. It seems it was the idea of adoption. Bdad signed to give up his rights but then he said a lot of bad things to her too. She really had to withstand a lot in a time that I'm sure was already very difficult. She is very young and she handled the situation with amazing maturity and grace in my opinion. The atty also said it's common in his experience. she said that's how it is in aa families. Is it true?
