This child is your Grandchild
I am glad you are seeking a wide range of input. I am an older adoptive Mom and am about the age of a young grandparent for my youngest child. If my daughter got pregnant, I would raise her child. We also have a couple of nieces who got pregnant at young ages. Their mothers helped out until they grew up enough to take over. They did.
The one thing I have gotten from these forums is how painful it is to let go of this person who is your grandchild, and a precious gift from God. It must be right in many instances however, because a lot of people do it and live with their decisions.
I have another niece who opted to have an abortion. I look at my sister-in-law and her first grandchild was aborted. To me that is sad. But I must add that a lifetime of infertility has shaped my outlook on this. Take care and best wishes.
