I like her...I will vote for her.

I am the mom of a special needs child...I am the primary wage earner...I am her age. So...while my job is nowhere near as stressful as hers...I do know it can be done. My DH is (now) a huge asset...he stayed home with the kids all summer while I worked 50 hours a week. We all came through.

And I totally agree with stephjoel's post...this should not even be questioned.

This is what I don't get...especially on the adoption boards...the child ended up pregnant...it happens...every single day. The best place for that baby is with her family...knowing that she is wanted and loved...even if her timing wasn't perfect...that she was not an embarassment to the family. I so don't get this aspect...

And the daughter was already in the public eye...the family probably had already came to terms with the entire situation. I know I don't want DD to be a mom at 17...but if it happens...I will not hide her in a closet nor reject my grandchild...we will make the best of the situation and the new gift of life we will be blessed with.
