Nobody can predict the future. Perhaps if your aunt had never been born your grandparents would have adopted a child that was far far better than your aunt. How can you know? Once a child becomes self aware, becomes a person ,it is no longer acceptable to toss them out. That's not the case with a bunch of cells that are trying to become a person. Maybe those cells would be lucky and maybe not. If there is free will then not even a supreme magical being would know what luck is in store if and when those cells achieved awareness. A child who is wanted will have a lot better chance at achieving good luck than one who is not. Your aunt was lucky to be wanted by someone, your grandparents. Not every group of grandparents want to raise the kids that their kids don't want. Are you to force them into being? TP
