[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 73525, member: 1545"] Hi rosebud~ I just went through a similar situation with my daughter about one year ago. She was 17 years old. I also spent eight years as a crisis counselor in a Crisis Pregnancy Center in our hometown. So, I'm speaking from a professional and a personal level. First ... as everyone has suggested you need to give yourselves a few days to assimilate this new information. Then you need to make an appointment with a Crisis Pregnancy Center in your area. At this point, I would advise you to avoid Planned Parenthood as they have a slightly different agenda and are less objective than a Crisis Center. And your family is is crisis. They will do a pregnancy test and begin the process of helping your family sort out the options available to your daughter. Now as a mom ... I too was devastated by our daughters news. It was my worst nightmare ... The most important thing you can do for your daughter is tell her that you love her and are with her no matter what. Try to avoid "You've ruined your life. You've ruined my life" and so on. If you need to vent ... call a friend ... come here. Your daughter is thinking those things already. You don't need to verbalize them. You need to reassure her that you love her ... that you stand by her. If you need to ... private message me and I'll give you my phone number. Hugs from my mothers heart. I'm so sorry. [/QUOTE]
