Her Sister Is Terminally Ill With 3 Children, And She’s Refusing To Adopt Them
A 25-year-old woman has a 31-year-old sister who was sadly diagnosed with brain cancer that cannot be treated.
Nobody is quite sure how much time her sister has left to live, and her sister is already suffering from some awful side effects of her terminal illness.
Her sister is a mom of 3; a 6-year-old, a 2-year-old, and an infant. As soon as her sister learned that she doesn’t have very much longer to live, her sister wanted to know if she would adopt her children after her death.
“No we don’t have family, and her ex-husband wants nothing to do with the kids since she had cheated on him for years with many men and they aren’t his,” she explained.
“She doesn’t know who the dad is.”
Right now, she is married, but she and her husband have already decided that they never want to have children for a few reasons.
If she went back on their original arrangement, she knows the relationship that she has with her husband will end in divorce, because she did ask him about what he would do if she did agree to take the children.
To complicate things further, she actually does not have a great relationship with her sister, and she has never even met the three children that her sister has.
She also cannot afford to provide for three children.

When she did let her sister know that she would not be adopting her three children, her sister was not happy with her.
“She cried and called me awful but it’s my life, and ultimately I get to be selfish with it, a child isn’t an 18-year commitment; it’s lifelong, and one I have decided not to take,” she said.
“She cheated with multiple different men and lost her husband; I don’t think it’s my job to swoop in and save her from consequences of her own actions. I don’t feel like I owe her anything.”
Her sister’s friends have since been pressuring her to take her sister’s children, and they have gone so far as to call her before leaving very mean voicemails for her.
She isn’t going to cave, even with all of this pressure, since she doesn’t believe she owes her sister this.
Do you think she’s doing the right thing here?
