Mlks,
Please, let me start by saying, there isn't anyone here that will be judging your sister or her husband. Placing a child for adoption is an extremely personal and tough decision. We are only here to offer help and support. Never judgement. Please feel free to talk with us.
My suggestion would be to sit down with you and your husband and speak with your sister and brother-in-law. Get everything out in the open. Make sure to let them know you'll support them whether they parent or place for adoption.
If you were to adopt, this can work. The child is already family and your sister and brother-in-law will remain in intregal part of the child's life. You might want to also check out the open-adoption forum as well. We've even got a birthparent's forum for your sister and brother-in-law. We're here to try to help.
