[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 650766, member: 1550"] Usually, from the stories I've read, the young kids who are old enough to make a baby try to take care of the baby at first, but have no idea what to do so go to mama. If the parent is up for it, she tries. Some parents are awful too, but the bar is high for losing custody of a child. Often the young father, being immature and not carrying the child backs off.I've actually seen this in real life as lots of kids are having kids these days. The father ends up being insignificant because he loses interest, won't pay child support, won't get a job, What does a child gain by being given to a father who is as young and messed up as his mother? Since Mom has the advantage unless Dad is willing to fight for custodial rights because he truly cares, Mom usually takes baby to her family and her family raises the baby. There are no such thing as grandparent rights so no way for boy's mother/dad to even see the baby unless they are given permission by custodial parent(s). What a mess. God forbid our disturbed lovies make an unselfish decision to let a couple who really WANTS a baby and is ready for one to raise the child. Nope. They want to do it, although somehow they must know they can't. Even if one agress to adoption, they both have to. And then there is the waiting period when they can change their minds. I remember when Jumper was born and we were so afraid her birthmother would not sign her rights away. In Illinois, fortunaetly there is no extended time to change your mind...once you sign it is final. But she was rather mature and practical and did sign. I love her for her sacrifice. But not many people seem capable of doing what is right for the child. Our kids who bring us here are me-centric and no way are they going to give their baby to somebody else...why? Just because. The baby is THEIR possession. It's very sad. [/QUOTE]
