[quote=Anonymous]I would applaud her for making a decision to honor the baby. (That sounds very pro-life, but I actually mean just that it is also a way of taking responsibility for her actions) As everyone has noted, this will take a lot of support from her family. I know a girl who did this when we were in early high-school. She did not have great family support, and ended up in a homeless shelter for awhile, despite coming from a very solidly upper middle class family. It really rocked her world, and she's never gone on to have a functional life. At the time she really wanted to have a baby bc she did not feel loved by her own family. Her son has grown up to feel like he ruined his mother's life. That is where having some family support can help. She, and your family, will need to consider how she can support herself short-term, get a college degree, an in general begin thinking and acting fully as an adult. I hope things are working out. Please give us an update. [/quote]
