[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you considered adoption? I know someone who adopted a baby from someone who didn't want a third child or an abortion.[/quote]

NP but I feel like adoption would be really hard to explain to her older kids?[/quote]

[b]Just explain that they couldn't keep the baby because it was too expensive[/b] but the baby went to a loving, caring family. Maybe keep the adoption semi-open so the kids can kind of know their sibling. Or don't tell until they're older, from what I've read they seem kind of young.[/quote]

OMG.  I hope you are joking, but in case you're not, don't ever ever ever ever ever say this.[/quote]

Well, what would you say? [/quote]

Something that wouldn't make her older kids feel like a burden-- the reason that their sibling couldn't stay part of the family--and just expensive generally. I think that if somebody was religious they could say "we felt like God wanted this child go to to another family." Maybe? I dunno.[/quote]
