[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask her what she needs.

If money is an option, explain that you can only give so much or once, whatever. Help her think through the best ways to use it.

She has been through a lot (being adopted out when you were kept),the loss of both adoptive parents, and she is very young. Mostly, make her feel like she still has family who loves her and will be there. Support her plan, even if you don't understand it, unless it is downright destructive.

Perhaps she needs to prove that she can survive on her own right now. Keep ties open please.[/quote]
Being adopted out is for the baby's best interest. No need to feel sorry for anyone anyone for that[/quote]

You are an idiot PP.  babies are not puppies.  Being “adopted out” is highly traumatic, especially being separated from Bio siblings in a foster situation.  She was thrown into a home with elderly parents who she had to take care of and then was thrown out of the home by vulture relatives of those people.

She clearly doesn’t know her rights as their child.  She’s rushing into marriage with an unstable friend after getting kicked out of her home after losing a parent with a long term illness.

OP, can you find out more about the house situation?  Can you help her with legal help so this niece doesn’t lose out on what she may be entitled to, including a home?  After all that caretaking she deserves something.[/quote]
