[quote=Anonymous]Firstly, she does not need to be a parent! Do everything you can to have her adopt, terminate, or whatever, but this is what would be best for the child and her. The boyfriend/dad will not be in the picture for long. Secondly, stop predetermining her future with labeling her disabled. Remember, self-fulfilling prophecies. Yikes, poor girl. You are not helping her with that attitude. She is 18 chronologically, but emotionally, psychologically, socially, she's about 13. Let her stay with you. Guide her as you would any young teen. Get her into a program at something like https://www.wwrc.net/VocationalEvaluation.htm as an example. They can determine what is appropriate. Has she had psych/educational testing before?[/quote]
