[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 245205, member: 6546"] JJJ-- I would think that if your daughter and the baby's father are both under the age of 18--then both sets of grandparents would have some leverage in putting any unplanned baby up for adoption. Clearly, your daughter is not only not thinking clearly about the responsibilities of parenthood, she is incapable of providing a loving home for this child on her own. Perhaps instead of convincing her how much she will not enjoy having kids--simply lay down a "black-and-white" rule: any baby that you have before the age of 18 will be put up for adoption. Period. So many girls that age just assume that their mothers are sitting around just waiting to take care of another baby. They think they can have a child and continue to be a teenager because Mom will take care of the hard parts. Knowing that Mom will not go along with all of her rosy plans certainly drains the fun out of the baby fantasy. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
