This is awful. My Mom is a birthmom to a girl who would be my half-sister (I've never met her though). She was going through a rough patch when she had my sister, but now she's a lawyer with two children.
Just because you couldn't raise one child doesn't mean your situation can't change, and you become able to handle another child.
Incidentally, my parents were kinship foster carers to two cousins when I was little. I don't know if my Mom mentioned that she was a bmom, but if so, it didn't affect their decision. And my parents kept with those kids long after many foster parents would have probably gotten them moved to another home. They went through hell with those kids, and only moved them when they realized the kids were a danger to me. (Unfortunately their initial concerns had been dismissed so that took longer than it should have. They trusted the 'experts', and unfortunately the experts turned out to be wrong.)
