well i;m not a mom but i know that if my daughter got pregnant i would try to encourage her to keep it and if she didn’t i might adopt it. and i would feel very sad. or i might try to find a really good home with a couple that had been trying but couldn’t and really wanted a baby and that they would take care of it. 5 ★☆ fashion queen

My girlfriend and I got pregnant when she was 19 and I was 20. Our parents were sad but supportive of whatever decision we made (other than abortion, they were against that) It was a huge benefit having the love and support of our family. Having our parents adopt our daughter from us would have been very odd now that we are in our mid to late twenties and our daughter is in elementary school. We did not run off and get married, we actually broke up for about three years before getting back together and getting married. We now have a beautiful daughter and a newborn son. Depending on the age and maturity of your teenage daughter I would suggest having her raise the baby or giving it up for adoption. If she does keep the baby it will cause her to grow up quickly because of her new found responsibility. Just remember to be loving and supportive of her decision and whether or not her relationship lasts with the father, keep him involved. My wife and I did not always get along, but we always were very involved in the life of our daughter and we remained civil. I hope this helps, since my wife and I lived what your daughter is going through and came out successful on the other side. Matt R

I’d be angry that’s she get pregnant. But I’d also try to help her. I’d hate it for her to put the baby up for adoption. What about her boyfriend’s opinion? If the home is a stable environment for a child to grow up, I don’t see why she would give the baby up for adoption. But then again, she doesn’t want to take care of a baby & probably I wouldn’t want to either. So, it’s like, you want to but you don’t want to. Bookworm

It depends if the daughter is totally unfit to be a mother, i.e a drug addict, abusive, violent etc. Considering the baby is family, I would adopt the baby. Family is important. JD

I am not sure how i would react to it, but i do know that i will be supportive if she decides to adopt it or keep it, i would strongly advise abortion because i do feel as she made the choice to have sex, she should have consequences to actions. But either way, i would support her and help her out with the baby. ~baby blue eyes~♥ going on vacay

Force her to take care of it. There’s no encouragement here. You either keep it or Im disowning you. Simple as that. DrCorrosion

I would be sad. I would hope she would keep her baby and find a way to make it work, I would of course help in any way I could to see that it happens. I wouldn’t want the child to leave the family. I think regardless of the timing, children are brought into our lives for a reason. I wouldn’t encourage any person to give away their child, without a whole lot of thought, or an amazing reason.

I would be very proud of her for making a mature, grown up decision that was best for her child. I would encourage her to do an open adoption so that she could still watch him/her grow up. But there are soooo many married couples who can’t have children that would be excellent parents, I think she’d be making the right decision. Irenie Leigh
