[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she is only 5 weeks along, she presumably got pregnant over summer break.  Does the dad go to her college? Is he local? Is he the guy she hooked up with while doing a summer overseas program? Does he know?

All of which is to say, is the dad likely to be involved and supportive?

My cousin got a girl pregnant during college.  She had the child, who is now about 4 and is lovely. But it’s also a bit of a mess. My cousin and the child’s mother never got married (which in their situation was a great call).  Both parents turned over many their parenting responsibilities to my Aunt, who loves this child and is probably closer to her than the child’s mother.  The mother is flaky and my cousin is in his early 20s and not that interested in parenting.

My Aunt is trying to get custody of the child or adopt here. But the mother will not consent.  Like I said, a mess. TBH, both parents need to grow up.

I had a HS friend, very UMC Catholic who got pregbant by a random guy on spring break. Abortion was not an option in her Catholic family.  She took a semester off, had the baby, and put him up for adoption.  IDK how she feels about that decision now. But she went on to get her degree and grad degree and become a professional success and marry and have a couple more kids. By all appearances, she has a great life.

No sure if this helps. Honestly, if that were my DD that early in a pregnancy, I would let her make the decision, but pr

Yeah, someone she hooked up with during a summer internship. She hasn’t told him yet. Is he supportive? That’s the big question. We’ll see. [/quote]
