Last June, a woman says her sister had twins; a baby boy and a baby girl. Not long before her sister gave birth, she got evicted from her place and wound up living with her.
Since she works full-time and already has 3 children of her own, she told to her sister that she would need to live somewhere else if she planned on keeping her twins.
Her apartment has 2 bedrooms, and there was not enough space to add infant twins plus her sister. Her sister understood and agreed to what she said.
“When she was six months pregnant she said she was going to give her baby up for adoption and contacted this top adoption agency,” she explained.
“They sent her a pamphlet of potential parents. I was shocked since she never brought up giving them up for adoption.”
“I felt guilty and told her if she got a job and paid me 400$ a month maybe we could find a 3 bedroom. She said she doesn’t want to be a mom and she’s made up her mind.”
It was very important for her sister to pick out a rich couple to adopt her children, and that’s exactly what she did.
The wife and husband each easily brought home 6 figures a year, and they seemed immaculate.
This woman mentioned to her sister that she thought they were kind of conceited based on their photos, but her sister said she didn’t care and just wanted her babies to live a high-end life.

As soon as her sister picked out this rich couple to adopt her twins, she got flown out to the city they lived in, and she proceeded to live at a 5-star hotel until she gave birth.
Now, her sister had arranged for the adoption to be open, and after her sister returned home, the couple would mail her monthly photos of her twins.
6 months into the adoption, this couple ghosted her sister and even deleted every single social media profile they had.
They also picked up and moved. All of this caused her sister to break down, and after her sister went to the agency about what had happened, the adoption agency told her that this couple really could do as they pleased.
She spent the next several weeks feeling so badly for her sister until her sister let it slip that she had asked the woman who adopted her twins for $2,000.
She told the adoptive mom she needed the money so she could go to college and the adoptive mom was very uncomfortable.
This was the real reason the couple ghosted her sister, and after she found out, she insisted this couple had every reason to do what they did.
Her sister started sobbing and has been ignoring her ever since. She’s left feeling concerned she may have been too harsh with what she said.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“She chose rich parents so she could get something out of it. The adoptive parents realized this and went no contact. Hopefully, she realizes her mistake and doesn’t pull this if her biological kids ever try to contact her.”
“I have a feeling that there was more than just asking for $2k that led them to not only cut off contact but delete their socials and move.”
“It sounds like sis was hoping the adoptive parents would be a cash cow for her, but once the adoption is final they hold all the cards.”
“The adoptive parents realized they’d have to continuously deal with the sister and noped out of that nightmare.”
“They probably moved because why risk the chance of sister “surprising” them with visits when the kids are older?”
“I experienced a very similar situation recently, except that my wife and I were in the position of the wealthy couple, and it wasn’t a request for cash–it was instead a request to co-sign on a loan for a home.”
“My wife and I did exactly what this other couple did; immediately cut off contact and ghost them from social media.”
“She really has no right to ask them for money even if they’re rich.”
“The process was to adopt her kids and provide them a life, not have her be part of the package and expect money.”
