[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP with a bit of an update.

Firstly, my kids DO share a bedroom already. The third bedroom is used as DH's home office which he uses regularly.

Secondly, Niece lied/misspoke/whatever. The boyfriend is not a boyfriend. He is a boy she met at a party and hooked up with. She does not know his last name. Some girl she barely knows met him at the mall and invited him to a huge house party Niece attended, where she met him.

Thirdly, Bro & SIL are not waivering on their feelings. They have refused to speak with Niece, blocked her on FB, closed her phone acct., etc. DH and I spoke with a lawyer who basically said we can force them to take her back but it will not go well for her. Based on what we told him about Bro & SIL, they will not treat her decently, they will not take her to doctor's appts, they will make life miserable for her and he foresees her running away multiple times.

So she can go through all that and THEN wind up in foster care or a group home for teen mothers or we can work out a way for her to stay with us.

Fourthly she is 19 weeks pregnant. She remains firm she wants to keep the baby. I feel like we've made very little progress towards solutions.[/quote]

You are doing an amazing job. I mean, holy crap, this is nothing to sneeze at. It's also a huge financial burden. Did the lawyer mention anything about suing the parents for child support? If you're going to take this on, it shouldn't be on your dime. [/quote]
