You're a fucking lawyer for a prestigious car brand. Surely hiring a god damn nanny was a better solution than child murder?
Take a week off, go to the hospital to get yourself and baby checked out. While in hospital, order a car seat. They'll probably give you some diapers and an outfit or blanket.
Then, when you leave the hospital, head to fire dept and place baby in the "need a baby, take a baby, have a baby, leave a baby" box.
I know you're being facetious, but this was in Germany where workers actually have rights to take a week off, and healthcare is freer than breadsticks.
That's sad that your first assumption was that I was joking because I said "take a week off" and "go to the hospital". Not a statement about you but about the state of things in some areas.
Though it's also sad that I silently assumed those weren't outlandish suggestions because she was a lawyer (though, as a Canadian, I did forget for a moment that "go to the hospital" might be a showstopper rather than the minimum level of care a parent who doesn't want their surprise baby should do before abandoning it at the fire dept).
The only part that I had intended as tongue in cheek was the "leave a baby, take a baby" bit. The comment was intended as a "this is a better way to handle this than dropping the baby out of the nearest window that doesn't involve having to take care of the baby at all, beyond a week of dealing with it with a minimum level of responsibly."
Alternatively, put the baby in a box with a towel, drop it off in a location where it can survive 5 minutes and call 911 to that location. Or call an adoption agency.
They don't have birth control in Germany?
They don't have adoption in Germany?
That too, but if I were this adamant about having kids, I'd make damn sure I don't have one in the first place.

Abortion.
So, I'm guessing abortion is banned or banned early in Germany?
It's complicated. Basically it's illegal, but there's exceptions. The one exception that makes this law very weak, is that it isn't illegal anymore if you got counseling at a place specialised for it.
Rape and medicinic reasons are also exceptions and counseling with the doctor is enough in that case.
It also has to happen in the first 90 days after getting pregnant.

She claims she didn't know she was pregnant.
Did she not know about adoption either?
I'm surprised the FSB hasn't scouted her already
Well, that is mind-blowingly awful.
