I hope she's doing it legally and not just taking her because if your cousin decides 5 years down the road that she wants her back she can take her unless she forfeits her rights to the child. I know most don't want to think that someone would repay kindness with a horrible act like that but it happens all the time. I'd hate for your sister's family to get attached to the girl just to have her snatched away.

This type of prayer is easy because God is in the adoption business!

it's legal and that the social service has approved and that our cousin isn't able to take care of her.. she had her other 2 girls taken from her due to lack of taking care of them and that she tend to make her grandma take care of them so she can go out partying... and comes home drunk.. it's a long story and that she almost got in a car accident with the baby in the car due to her and her boyfriend stealing from a store and driving fast from the cops.. so they took the baby away.. she then ask for my sister to take her and didn't really want her.. which is sad she is also a stripper and rather go partying and stuff rather to take care of her kids...so yeah she was ok with it and it was legal..sad a.mom doesn't want her kids...

That baby IS, so is due loving care. It doesn't matter what the biological mother is about if she is pursuing sin instead of responsibility as concerning that child. If that baby has a caring mothering woman, both mother and child are blessed. I take prayer to the issue of the biological mother first, asking that people be dispatched to minister to her for her salvation. Knowing her name to speak it out is unnecessary, as God already knows about her, and is looking for hedge-builders for her and that baby. He might be compelled to eventually say at her judgment He never knew her, but He will make the adoption family receive blessing in this life and the next.

My wife and I adopted a 5 day-old girl 34 years ago after "trying" to have a baby for 13 years. Her nurses in the hospital had already named her the name we chose while driving there to receive her. We had asked for a boy, had his name ready. Regardless of our desire, she was our first child, followed a year later by our biological daughter. We were blessed, have no complaint.

In all that I learned the amazing love of God who adopted me, a terrible Gentile bound for hell off and on. Had we not adopted that child there is no knowing of the consequences of some alternate set of choices with their consequences. I know I would have probably missed God and come away with a twisted version of His love. But now I understand.

God loves so much that He will adopt all the unwanted that choose Him, letting even a 5 day old baby choose as best she knows to. She grew up to seek her biological mother out, finding her, and determining to make sure that woman makes the right decisions.

Praying for this young child, your sister and the baby. I know this is a good thing to do. God loves children, and caring for this baby is God's will.
