Changing Mind About Adoption?

Hello Ladies!

I am 22 years old and I have a friend who found out three months ago that she was pregnant with her fourth child and in a very abusive relationship with this child’s father (all children have different dads) She is 21. She asked me around the time that she found out if I would adopt the baby, which I didn’t hesitate with saying yes because I’ve had a tough time getting pregnant and I went through a traumatic miscarriage.

We talked and talked about it and I became more and more excited to be a mother to this child. I flew her and her kids from Texas to Nebraska last month. Since she has been in town she’s been avoiding me. She hasn’t messaged me back about setting up doctors appointments and she was hospitalized in Texas for high blood pressure so I’m sure she needs to be seen and monitored here. She’s been ignoring me about getting together to go over details about the legal part of adopting. I messaged her and told her it’s okay if she’s changed her mind but just to let me know because I’ve already started buying baby things as well as working on the nursery. She never messaged back. I know pregnancy takes an emotional toll on your body and it’s her baby so it’s okay for her to change her mind. I’m not sure if she’s just going through the emotions of pregnancy or if she has changed her mind completely. It hurts though because I’ve been so happy preparing to be a mom. Any advice ladies?
