How come I told a 14 y/o pregnant girl to give her baby up for adoption in a loving, 2 parent home and i got?
chapped lips asked:
4 thumbs down? what chance will that baby have to grow up with a dead beat father and a 14 year old girl who barely got her period 1 to 2 years earlier? I don’t think how heart wrenching it would be for her to give it up to a stable home, all I think about is that baby’s future.

i have the same problem. i always recommend adoption for those ages (first getting period until adulthood)
and i always get thumbs down.
i am not sure, i guess a lot of people here want 14 year olds to have babies and go on welfare and be potentially abusive to the baby etc.

I think you said the right thing. I’m totally sick of reading all these posts about adolecent teens thinking they are pregnant after a night of unprotected sex after/before/during their period with their “boyfriend”.
I’m due in August with a baby girl, and these posts make me absolutely sick. I will not raise my little girl to act like that.

most likely it was by a group of teenage mothers they dont like being told to put the child up for adoption they see these innocent babies as badges of honor and not a human life sorry that happened i have gotten it too

It is but this girl has to deal with what she did and take care of the baby. Everyone thinks differently. A lot of kids grow up with dead beat parents, and the baby still survives in this rough world.

You got thumbs down because four people did not agree with you for some reason or other. Try not to take Yahoo Answer forum opinions to heart…

I understand where you’re coming from with your response to give the child up for adoption. But I know several people who became mothers when they were teenagers and actually ended up being good parents. It may have been a bumpy start and it might have been an accident, but these kids from teen mothers can still have a chance at a good life.

I guess it just depends on how you word it.
Maybe you said something offensive but didn’t even realize it?
(I wouldn’t know; I didn’t read whatever it is you’re talking about… just a suggestion)

what makes you think that she aint going to do the right thing maybe she wants it really bad and really knows the responsibility and can do it i know a 13 y/o and is a really good mother for her age her kid always comes first. would you want to put any of your kids up

For the same reason you see the “congrats” at the end of all the “Could I be pregnant” questions.
Congratulations just *might not* be what the person is thinking they need to hear. In many cases it’s probably more like “OH CRAP! Now what do I do?!?”
Hard fact of life: not everyone who gets pregnant wants to experience the “miracle” of giving birth & motherhood, particularly if she’s 14, 15, 16 years old.

I, for one, think it was solid advice. Lots of people on here like to do the whole thumbs-down thing regardless of the answer, just to be obnoxious. Also, there might be people out there who are 14-year-old moms themselves and took offense at the idea of not being capable of raising children themselves. I do think your advice was good, though.

Arrg! It’s the anti-adoption theme that going around. The fact that you are suggesting separating the mother from the child would be the main reason for the thumbs down. Don’t get me wrong, she should be doing what’s best for the child and in this case it giving it up, but that’s not what people think of when you say adoption. (forgive the Arrg! my three year old son wants me to be a pirate for the rest of the day matey!)
