Strangest question I ever received in my nsg career

Have you ever been asked by a pt who just checked into the ED if you wanted to adopt their unborn baby who's coming any minute? I did. The mom and teenage daughter (who already had two litte ones) were very serious. To this day, I don't know why I said no (considering my child is adopted: since, I can't have children). I think I was just caught off guard too much by the question. It's been about 2.5 yrs now, and I often wonder what became of the child.

HUMMMMM...lets see, I would think maybe a child could be endangered if the mother was asking a total stranger to adopt it! I believe a call to social services may have been in order.
