Prayers For My Cousin

I need to ask you for prayers for my cousin who is very close to delivering her first child. She has a mental illness and has desired to get pregnant since she was little. She is a sociopath and is very good at manipulation. She conceived her first child, much to the chagrin of everyone in the family, but fortunately, abortion was never considered. My cousin was adamant that she was planning to keep this baby, even though she is unemployed, on welfare, and is homeless. She is not living with my aunt and uncle and they plan to keep it that way (which is very understandable). She was put in to the hospital with pre-eclampsia this past week and was dilated 4cm. I don't know what how effaced or what station she was at. The doctors said that she will deliver any day now. Since my cousin is homeless, they will not release the child to her when she gives birth. DCFS was going to take it, but my aunt wouldn't have that, and so Catholic Charities in the state my cousin is in is going to take it and put it up for adoption. Pray that is a closed adoption! There are so many scary outcomes out of this, and I want what is best for the child, which is for it to be in a closed adoption with a loving (Catholic, if possible) family. God bless and thanks in advance for your prayers!
