[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you want her to kill her baby so you don’t have to worry about needing to help take care of it?  She’s an addict, she needs help getting clean and prepared for the birth of this child. Perhaps his parents are the ones who can help her if you are as unsupportive as you come across in your post.[/quote]

Why should OP have to raise a surprise kid?? She's essentially just a family friend of this girl. Or was a family friend at some point of her parents.

You're awful.

And OP has already said that despite her reluctance, she can already see a good chance that the baby would end up with her. Despite it ruining her life and affecting her family as well.

OP, I think you need to have a chat with your husband/family and figure out what you are prepared to do (or not) for this baby. NOBODY could possibly think less of you for not taking in this baby. It's not your burden to carry.

Maybe you could help her with the adoption process. There are parents who would accept a drug addicted baby. Or pay for rehab. Or be her sponsor for rehab. Or something else. But don't do more than you're comfortable doing. And the mom-to-be should know that you won't be her safety net and take in this child, if that's the case. Because maybe she's relying on that.

And yes, it sucks. It really does. You have my sympathy and best wishes.[/quote]
