I would like advice on what to do... sorry this will be a bit long, but I want you all to have as much info as possible :)
My brother in law's cousin is pregnant. I found out
about her pregnancy from my sister who was speaking to the **'s aunt and mom. They were saying N wanted to give her baby up. My sister told them that my dh and I would like to adopt (we're going through classes right now.) and the aunt (sister's mother n law) said that would be a great idea. The **'s mom asked for me to call her and I did. We spoke at length but in the end she said that N was become more excited about the pregnancy (she found out she's having twins) and may keep the babies. Her mom doesn't think she will as she has two other children that she has given up. She's due in March. It was 3 weeks ago that we spoke.
I've never spoken to N and don't want to call her and put added stress on her. I would like to call her mom again though and see how she and the babies are doing... do you think this would be appropriate? At the end of our conversation the mom just said we would have to wait until the babies were born to see what N decides... I want to respect N and not intrude, but I do want her to know that we are here and would love to adopt them if that is what she choses to do.
Should I call?
Thanks,
Karat
I do not see any harm in contacting her mother and asking if N has talked anymore about her decision to adopt or parent. If I were in your shoes I would contact her mother. Good luck.

She is not yet a birthmother. She is an expectant mother considering adoption and should be respected as such.
If she has all ready been told that you are interested in adopting her child then your job is done. Coercion is not needed. If she is interested in you adopting her child she will contact you when she is emotionally ready to make that step.
