Question...would you?

Would you take your child's younger half-sibling in, under your roof, for a while under these circumstances?
1. The biofather abondoned your child. Agreed to a stepparent adoption only to avoid going to jail (or so he thought).
2. The half-sib lives with BF & BM (but they "aren't an item", BM uses it as a place to stay).
3. BF won't work, trying to get disability on a wrist issue.
Has been turned down. Refuses to work.
4. BM works but half-heartedly. Had job until last week. But it was not steady job, she knew it going in but stopped looking for something permanent.
5. BM already had 1 child that her folks are raising (not my X's child).
6. BM called me stating they are being evicted. Have till 9AM on July 1st.
7. BM says has no where to go, no one to turn to. I don't really care about her or X, but do for this child's welfare.
BM is afraid child will end up in foster care system. She doesn't want that.
9. As neither has a job, neither has a place to live...
10. X's money well finally ran dry & is refusing to give him money again.
11. And you know, from past history, that there is a chance that this won't be temporary as BM says. (I have kept half-sibling, with specific time for her to get child & whe won't show up for hours...even days later.)
Would you take in your child's half-sibling under these circumstances? If so, what paperwork would you have done?
Would you wait like, 2 or 3 weeks then do paperwork or do it immediately?
