[quote=Anonymous]Child support is generally based on the parent's income not the grandparents income.  Depending on benefits, they may be eligible for a day care voucher, wic, food stamps and other things.  If they threaten, tell them to go ahead.  Its not a big deal and if they go to court, you also go for a visitation agreement for your son to make sure its set up so he can be an active dad.  Its better to have an agreement through court so they can't keep coming at your family for more and more money.  Nothing can be done until there is a baby, so they have to wait till baby is born to file.

Give them time.  Hopefully they will be supportive.  If they are housing mom/baby, they are getting the bulk of the financial burden and child care assistance and they are ending their child rearing days, not beginning them so its a huge life change for them and their daughter, which comes with much disappointment especially if she is college bound.

For adoption, maybe when the time comes, have them meet with some families who adopted (better ones like us who aren't actively looking so there is no pressure either way well as some birthparents to see both sides.)  Adoption is a very difficult choice but a good option depending on the situation.  There are a variety of ways to adopt from private to agency to open to closed.  But, the choice has to be theirs and only theirs to make.[/quote]
