AITA For letting my sister adopt my unborn baby rather than a friend who wants a baby?
At nineteen, caught in the whirlwind of unexpected young love and life’s unpredictable turns, a young couple faces the heart-wrenching reality of an unplanned pregnancy.
Despite their careful precautions, fate has other plans, thrusting them into a world of difficult choices and emotional turmoil that neither had anticipated.
In the midst of this chaos, a beacon of unwavering support emerges in the form of an older sister—more a mother than sibling, a guardian who raised him through years of absence and hardship.
With open arms and a loving heart, she offers to adopt the child they cannot keep, intertwining their lives in a profound act of family, sacrifice, and hope.

The original poster and their girlfriend are facing significant emotional pressure regarding an unplanned pregnancy at age nineteen.
The central conflict lies between honoring their initial decision to choose adoption for their baby into a trusted family environment (the sister) and dealing with the intense emotional pleas from an outside friend who desperately wants a child.
Given that the sister has already prepared for the adoption and the OP values keeping the child within the existing family structure, is the pressure from the friend—who emphasized the difficulty of finding a 'white baby'—sufficient reason to overturn the es**blished plan, or is the OP's commitment to their sister and the principle of keeping the baby connected to their existing family the correct path?
