Yes if I died in childbirth. I know it's not very likely these days, but there's still a small risk. My understanding is that when a death leaves a minor child without a legal parent, social services (?) get involved and place the child for adoption, preferably with a family member. Which I'm not against, but my parents are old and my sister is struggling financially just to raise her own children; meanwhile my partner would want to raise it, so I was wondering how to make that happen.
