[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you mean Medicaid. I would really encourage adoption. It would be so much better for the child.[/quote]

Jeff Bezos and Barack Obama are both children of 18 year old mothers who raised them.  Careful about how you generalize.  It’s not all like the MTV teen mom show.[/quote]

I kind of agree with this. Also she should 100% be able to choose to terminate if she wishes on her own. BUT, that said- while this is far from the ideal scenario, its not entirely unheard of to make this work, especially if the families of the mother have the resources to help get the mother through an education that will pay her bills/give her job security to raise the child on her own sooner rather than later. If the grandparents don't, or come from a place of "whatever, no big deal" and don't care about perpetuating a cycle of teen pregnancies, well, that is I think where things get difficult. The few families I know where this happened did the best they could- one became a nurse, one an accountant (not CPA, more like admin finance for a university) the 3rd a teacher- things with more concrete paths after undergrad and the grandparents (in some cases 2 sets in one case 1 set) helped BIG TIME with child care and childcare expenses so that the moms could stay in school and get their degree in 4-5 years and work part time.

One of these women is my colleague, its weird how her daughter is 20 and my oldest is 4 even though are the same age but she made it work, and also has kids in middle school.[/quote]

I agree.

We would not have Barack Obama if his mom was a dcum woman.

And the point about being a grandparent is true. Most of these dcum women might never become grandparents or even see their kids get married.

OK this baby might end up being the best thing that happens to your family.[/quote]
