[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 724129, member: 21066"] I expect she would get kicked out of the battered women's shelter because of her propensity to violence and not having the skills to get along with anyone. Do you think she would be verbally abusive to the child? That can be almost as damaging as physical abuse. I like to be optimistic and hope for the best, but I don't know if having a baby would change her. I agree that the baby's father shouldn't be made aware of the pregnancy. I think your daughter has some anger issues from long ago that have never been resolved. I know you don't want custody, but she may not make a good mom. In some states the father doesn't have to agree to relinquish his parental rights. Our son's mom doesn't even know who his father is, so our son's grandma got custody. After his grandmother died, we legally adopted him. Maybe your daughter could tell the adoption agency she doesn't know who the father is, and there would be no way to find him to sign over his parental rights. But, it sounds unlikely she was give the child up. She may use him as a pawn and move him and herself into your home. If she won't put him up for adoption, you may need to be prepared to take custody. Nobody plans on raising a kid in their fifties and sixties, but it's very common. You may be the person who saves this poor kid. My son's grandma didn't think she could do it, but she did an amazing job with him. I truly believe the two years she had custody, she saved him. Otherwise, he will end up in foster care, which is even worse than your daughter raising him. [/QUOTE]
