[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry if this post is all over the place. My sister is gay and lost her wife to cancer in May. She is grieving and I have a feeling she hasn't been doing all that well. She got pregnant by a guy that we grew up with. The story kind of sounded off but she was basically drunk. She missed a few periods and thought it was because of stress she went to the doctor and found out that she was already in her second trimester. Abortion is illegal in the state that she is in. I have personally had several losses and she is asked me if I want the baby. She wants to come to DC give birth and just hand me the baby. She doesn't want her name on the birth certificate she doesn't want anyone to know that she is pregnant. The father knows and he's okay with this idea. She wants me to keep it from our mother. Right now she has a lot of Shame and almost sounds like she resents the child, she says that she is disgusted with herself. Is this kind of adoption simple? I don't have a lot of money and I had planned on moving out of the area next fall. My sister doesn't seem to think we need to get anybody involved but I have a feeling it doesn't work like that. Obviously one day the child will need to go to school and there will be doctor's appointments.

Sorry if this post is a mess thanks in advance for any advice. [/quote]
