My 14 year old stepdaughter is pregnant.

What does she want to do?

Does she live with you? Where is her mum and what are her views? What does the soon to be mum want to do?

As bad as I may sound for this, I would support her. I think a child needs to know the parent is there for them. I would let her make her own decision on whether to keep the child or adopt it out. If she would want to keep it, I would help her as much as I could, but I would require she get a job as soon as she can.

I would talk to her and find out what she's thinking. At 14, she could be very mature or quite immature depending on the teen. I don't believe in abortion, but if it were my child I would encourage adoption but not make the choice for her. I would let her know how very hard it is going to be if she decides to keep the baby, I would write down the costs for her so she can see how hard it's going to be financially, talk about school and how that's going to work, and decide whether or not you are willing to be involved in raising her daughter or how much she will be expected to do.

I would take her to a non-bias pregnancy resource center to get all the information she can on all of her options. If it was my daughter at 14 I would stress adoption but of course you can't 'make' her do anything. She just needs to be armed with info right now.

This is a complicated situation. She doesn't have the ability to support herself and a child, and it's an unfair situation to put you in. I would call your doctor, and the school immediately to see what kind of options are available.

Abortion is not for me, but I don't know if you can make a minor give a child up for adoption. That seems like it would be the best option.

I'm so sorry that you're dealing with such a heartbreaking and stressful situation. Wishing you all the best possible outcome.

along she wanna keep the baby support her dear the baby is gods gift

If the decision were mine to make, I would opt for adoption. I'm not sure what the law says about a 14-year old's power to make such a decision. In my day, it would have been entirely the decision of the parents because she would have been considered a minor and would not have had a voice. I know that many of those laws have been changed, but I would certainly look into that first. I right now know a woman who gave birth to a child when she was 13 and the baby was kept by her parents. It is presently a nightmare situation, and the child is now 13 herself. Sometimes, none of the options are very appealing, but we have to choose the one that will be best for the most people. I believe in this instance that option would be adoption. There are many infertile couples who would be eternally grateful for the opportunity to have this baby and who would give it a good, stable home.

What does she want to do? What does her mom want to do? The bottom line is, that since she is still very much a child, if she keeps the baby, one of her parents is going to end up raising the child.
