[quote=Anonymous]I was a pregnant teen and I went to live with a relative while I was pregnant.

It may feel or seem like you are being shipped away but the truth is emotionally it was better. I did not need to deal with all my friends (many had abortions) and their judgement of me for actually having the baby.

I went to counseling which was nice, because after 5 sessions the therapist said that I was handling this in a healthy and mature manner.

I did give the child up for a adoption but that was my decision and I literally did not want to know what anybody else thought. I would let her work it out with a therapist.

There are 2 decisions: have the baby, don't have the baby (I think she already made that decision otherwise her parents would not know.)
Then there are 2 decisions: raise the baby or find a loving home for the baby. (from there the decisions are endless)

She is a pregnant teen not a drug addicted felon. Treat her like a niece, not a criminal. Have specific and measurable expectations. You must do X, Y, Z for us to feel like we are helping you not enabling you, etc.

Good Luck! It's going to be longer than a week or two.
