offer to adopt if you want to. My cousin that I have referenced has a half sister who had a baby at 18 and was preggo with another at 19 but lost at 20 weeks. My DH was not interested in adopting or I would have offered to adopt both of her babies, but I doubt that she would have given them up because she is using the one she has as a paycheck. I say go for it!
AFM I have not seen my cousin since memorial day weekend and don't expect to see her much from now on. They have now moved into a house that my dad thinks should have been condemned years ago because it has been in rough shape for more than 2 decades. They had done a lot of work to the place prior to moving, but it was probably not safe for her to be their during renovations. After spending that time with her over the holiday weekend, I am beginning to wonder if I can handle taking on dealing with her mother and half siblings if she was living with me. I think it would be a great source of stress. At least I have extended the invitation and if she becomes too unhappy she has my phone number. Her mom has no problem letting her kids move out underage as her 16 year old is living with her 21 yo bf and his parents.
Thanks for asking.
