[QUOTE="ANewLife4Me, post: 765053, member: 32799"] To go along with what everyone said made me think of the actual services themselves. I don’t know about your area but here mothers with children can get help with shelter, food stamps and cash assistance. Also a program called WIC, that gives food assistance while the mother is pregnant and formula for the baby until a year old with continued food assistance for Mom. You said there are more services in your area than where she is, I would push her towards self sufficiency. A sad point, my daughter once told me she would get purposely pregnant to get all these benefits and be taken care of. That I could watch the baby for her. I told her there is no way I would do that, not fair to a child just because you do not want to work. Could be the reason she wants to keep the baby possibly? 😥 [/QUOTE]
