[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 224259, member: 1991"] It IS a sad story, MWM. I can understand the grandmother's motives - I just don't think it's a good idea, for the baby. Maybe in other cases... every case needs to be looked at separately. Both those teens will grow up into adulthood knowing that they brought a life into existence at a time when neither of them is capable of giving that child the best start in life. Their relationships with others, with their own children they may have later on, will always bring up the memories of what happened here and now. And for that child - if the ties are kept close to the bio-parents, unless it is with a household where the child can be given stability, consistency and sufficiency, there is going to be risk of resentment in both directions. No child deserves that; not the baby, and not the parents of the baby. I hope that all involved get some good counselling before they make their decisions, so that when they DO decide what to do, they will feel confident in the choices they make. Marg [/QUOTE]
