[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 468146, member: 2322"] Nancy, You are being incredibly strong and wise. It sounds like things could be worse. One can only hope that she will have far more understanding of her birthmother's adoption decision after being pregnant. I am glad you will be able to give some input to the adoption agency if it comes to that. As an adopted mom for whom two adoption agencies did not reveal the truth about birthmother's background it is good that you may be able to do so. Often the interest of the adoption agency is in finding a "good home" which they feel like full disclosure will make difficult. Fetal alcohol is much more sensitive in the first trimester. I don't know what state you are in. There are states where it is legal for the adopting couple to pay birthmother's living expenses, which is a mixed bag. There are some adoption agencies that I think provide living quarters for women who have no other home. Perhaps she could explore if it comes to that places where she could get adoption support and also support for sobriety. That is, if course she comes to you for advice.... Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
