Just a word of caution....I would tread lightly. Your aunt has already given you WAY more information than IMO she should have. She signed an agreement of confidentiality and you should really know nothing about this babies history. I'm not saying that you should or shouldn't attempt to adopt this child, but I think it has to be done the right way. The baby is only a week old. There may be relatives, or families with a sib that would be willing to adopt. There are so many things that would have to be looked at, and I don't think you can really present yourself as a pre-adoptive placement until either rights are terminated or concurrent planning is ordered.
I would love to be able to post something more encouraging, but I know that around here DSS REALLY frowns on "arranged adoptions", as they feel that is their job.
