I can only imagine the emotions but I think I would feel the same. The overwhelming empathy for a child left in that position, I would want to be the caregiver at that point as well, to guarantee that the child met a greater upbringing than at it had begun with.
No matter what the outcome, the child has been left in a better position, but your brother has been scarred. I'm not sure what to say other than that. Your brother can sleep knowing that himself, or whoever ends up the caregiver, can ensure that this child will see a better life than the one he or she was born into.
But God knows, were I in your brother's shoes, I would kill to become the caregiver. I can only imagine the struggle he is going through.
