[quote=Anonymous]This is going to sound like a lifetime movie but I promise it’s not!

My best friends 18 year old son got his high school girlfriend of 3 years pregnant. She is currently almost 5 months along and she/her family decided that they want to put the baby up for adoption. My best friend and her son (father of the baby) are very upset by this and want to be in the baby’s life. My best friend is considering asking her sons girlfriends parents if they can *adopt* the baby and they will raise it and not expect anything from the mom or her family financially, etc. She’s pretty good friends with them as her son and their daughter have been dating for a little over 3 years now and they’ve spent lots of time together, gone on trips together, etc. She’s just worried about bringing this up and if they say no, she doesn’t know what else to do as her and her husband AND her son want to keep the baby and not have her adopted off. Both families are very well off so money would never be an issue and again, they wouldn’t expect or want any financial help from the mom. She was planning on going to college in MA next year (she’s going into her senior year of high school) and he graduated in June and is attending school locally. My friend thinks that this would make it easier on the mom as she will be going away and can be as involved or uninvolved as she’d like. I can’t imagine what she’s going through and want to give her advice but I don’t even know what she’d do in this situation. Her son is the sweetest kid and while he understands he’s young and has his whole life ahead of him, he knows this is his baby and wants to be in her life. The whole situation is a mess. Anyone have any thoughts or advice in this situation? If she’s going to have this convo with the family, I told her it needs to happen asap as the pregnancy is halfway through. [/quote]
