Are There Any Resources For Me To Help Protect My (20m) Pregnant Sister (17) From My Dad And Stepmom Trying To Get Her To Give Her Baby Up For Adoption?

Edit: I am sorry, I know that a lot of this is not legal advice so if you could just let me know any legal options my sister has that would be great. Sorry I didn’t mean to waste anyone’s time. I just talked to my sister this morning and this have been really bad for her. A little background but our mom passed away and we were sent to live with my dad who really is focused on his new family. He and my stepmom are very Catholic and take their position in their parish very seriously. My sister has been dating my best friend Jando (19) for three years and he recently let me know what she’s pregnant. I live a few states away and I’m in the Air Force. Dad and stepmom always told us we can’t live at home when we turn 18. They tried kicking me out at 18 but ended up letting me stay until I graduated high school. That’s how big of scumbags they are.

Obviously the pregnancy wasn’t planned and she found out late. My dad and stepmom apparently are forcing her to give the baby to a woman from our church who can’t get pregnant. She’s a very popular woman on the parish and i know exactly why they’re doing this. To make themselves look better. Since she’s not 18 they’re keeping her at home and refused to let her get an abortion. It’s too late for one now as well.

My sister Ella has an almost full ride to a local college and Jando lives on his own and has a good trade job as an apprentice. Obviously it’s not great but his parents want to help. They e offered for Ella to move in and for Jando to live there while they help with the baby.

Sorry this is rushed and jumbled but Ella is apoplectic. They won’t let her leave the house other than doctor appointments and school in a few weeks. And they go with her to appointments. They have let Jando come over a few times but only if they’re in the room with them and if they try to talk about the baby it has to be them giving it to this woman. My sister will turn 18 before the baby is born but just barely. She’s miserable. She called me at 3am because dad and stepmom were asleep. I told her she should pretend like she is willing to give this woman the baby so that dad and penny give her more freedom (they said they would) and it’s not unusual for birth parents to change their minds. She said that wasn’t ethical but none of this is! Is it legal? I won’t be able to see her for about a week when I fly back but I haven’t heard her this devastated in a long time. She is in Missouri.
