I would explain that families come with many different circumstances, and there really is no guarantee she is not going to have the money to raise her child, just as there is no guarantee that someone else is guaranteed to always have the perfect situation to raise her child. I guess, I would try to express that it is her child, and no one really has the right to separate the two. There are resources available to help her get on her feet and take perfectly good care of her child. I would explain how things can be blown way out of proportion as far as what a baby actually needs, and many of those things can be borrowed or received as hand me downs. That truly the only thing a baby needs is the stability and love of his/her family - no matter how that family is defined.
