[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have any other kids, do you, OP?  If not, then you are technically in the same place as your brother and his wife.  Neither of you have kids, you both want kids and it's possible you are incapable of conceiving too.  They can't really be that mad at you if you're basically in the same position as they are.  (at least for now.  If you get pregnant later, they might be pretty upset.)

Why does the family member not want the baby to go to your brother?[/quote]

Because she's had a rough life and most of the family has turned on her, including my family. We grew up together and are very close in age. While we went on very different paths, I've always kept contact with her, listened to her when she needed to vent, and supported her emotionally as much as I could. While I don't agree with her life choices, I never once put her down because she's family. [/quote]

Your brother didn't offer to adopt this baby as far as I can tell from your story.  I'm not sure why this would cause a rift with he and his wife if you adopted the child.

I would also offer to pay for an IUD for this family member at some point if she keeps having kids she can't keep.[/quote]
