[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ditto to 20:44---a child can grow up to respect a birthmom who realized that she was unable to parent as a teen, and sought to look out for her child's interest.   The sense of loss generated when a teen mom attempts to parent, but then basically discards the child to the care of relatives (or foster care) is far more damaging to a child.  I know, because my DD's birthmom gave birth to her at 15, attempted to "play house" with the dad, and then my daughter was taken into foster care at age 5.  Good luck to your niece---I hope she focuses on the best interests of her child---first and foremost.   [/quote]
one case is not enough to make a sweeping generalisation. Your crystal ball is broken
nobody can force the adoption. It has to be voluntary. Nobody dies of starvation. People get by.
An adoptee does not grow to respect a bithmom.

I would caution against forcing anything. She migjt end up suicidal. I doubt her relationship with her parents will ever be normal again. She might cut off all contact with them later on in her life.
Could she rather stay in her home town and just rent a room?
Cutting her off from all that she has ever known at this time of her life is drastic. Sounds like nobody cares about her. How is she coping?
