I am almost 19. As my mother has always known that she was adopted, so have I. I understood that she was very young (15 when she got pregnant, 16 when she had my mom). I have never thought anything bad of her for giving my mother up. I never thought of her as a grandmother though until she recently became part of our lives.
My younger brother is eight. I think he understands better than we did of her giving up my mom because he will say things like, "How old was grandma when she had mom?" ANd when we tell him it was the age of my younger sister he'll say, "Well how could she (my sister) have a baby? She is so young." So I think this puts in perspective why my birth grandmother placed my mother for adoption.
I hope this helps.
