[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the 15 year old niece who can't support herself will have very little alternative except to place her child for adoption unless her family enables her to keep the child by providing food, shelter and financial support.   Were I OP, I think I would be working very hard in order to get my niece into some sort of group home for pregnant teens environment, instead of agreeing to let her reside as a houseguest.

I keep returning to this thread because one of my greatest fears is that my own impulsive, ADHD, FASD, incredibly immature DD could---in just a few years time---be OP's niece---despite all the efforts we make to try to ward against those risk factors.  And I would imagine that given my child's background, and her "magical thinking"---she too would be like OP's niece in wanting to continue with a pregnancy and have a child.

So I keep reading, wondering what exactly one does in order to "reach" a 15 year old and convince her that she is in no way prepared to be a mother, and owes it to her unborn child to make decisions that are in the child's best interest.  [/quote]

I.U.D.

For the situation you describe you need to play offense as well as defense. [/quote]
