Abstract
In December, Robert and Carol became engaged and Robert moved into Carol’s home. Their relationship deteriorated, however, and in February of the following year Robert moved out. Although Carol was pregnant when Robert left, Carol hid this fact from Robert, apparently fearful Robert would think “she was trying to coerce him into marriage.” During the following weeks, Carol asked her friends, a married couple, if they would adopt her and Robert’s child. The couple agreed. In October, Carol gave birth to a baby boy, who was delivered to the adoptive parents upon Carol’s discharge from the hospital.
