[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I plan on adopting the child and raising them as my own. I do eventually plan on telling them that I am not their birth mother. I've explained to my sister that if she were to change her mind I would understand. She says that her plan is to come here and stay long enough so that I never need her for anything paperwork wise. Her child is going to college next year and she wants to travel with them. We had a heart to heart about drugs and the she swears that she hasn't touched weed in 6 years. She has just started getting prenatal care and says she looks forward to seeing me as a mother after several losses. [/quote]

You need to be honest from the start that the child is adopted.  You do not need to say who their birth mom is but they need to know they are adopted.[/quote]
Of course you will need to say who their birth mother is. Because the kid will ask and then your choice is to lie or tell child the truth. And of course you should not lie. This will become known. Chances are good the child’s half-brother will tell him, even if no one else does. Or is OP’s sister going to hide the pregnancy from her soon to be 18 year old child also?[/quote]
