[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 529377, member: 59"] PG I have been where you are now. Last September we found out difficult child was pregnant when I found a pregnancy test kit sticking out of her purse. Our collective (mine, husband's and easy child's) hearts sank about as low as they could get. We knew there was no way she could take care of a baby and she was actively using drugs and drinking at the time, had no job and was living in a sober house. She said she was going to keep the baby and we could not talk any sense into her. She left in a huff and we spent the next month praying that she would come to her senses. We had no contact with her during the next month and finally she came over and confessed she finally realized she could not parent a baby and couldn't even take care of herself and asked if we would help her. I don't mean to suggest this is right for anyone else but for us it was the only choice that made sense. She went to planned parenthood and made the arrangements and we took her there a few days later. The best part was that we paid for her to get a five year IUD so that she would not put herself and another innocent baby in this position again. I was glad she came to the decision herslef and I get chills when I think of the ramifications if she had gone through with the pregnancy. The drugs, alcohol and inherited traits from her, the addict birthfather, and her birthparents was too much to even comprehend. If you need someone to talk to who has been through this feel free to pm me. I will be thinking of you and I send supportive and caring hugs. Nancy [/QUOTE]
