Poll

Question: If your daughter was 16 and pregnant... what would you do?

I would help support her and the baby while she finishes school

I would encourage her and the baby's father to raise the baby on their own (move out, get jobs, etc.)

 I voted 'other'but it didn't come up.I would see what she wanted to do first then help her with her decision.Not if she wanted an abortion though,I will not help her do that.

I would support her. i wouldnt want my grandbabies given up for adoption. I would be supportive and I wouldn't pressure her with working and getting childcare. I would help my baby girl with her baby. Or my son with his baby if he got a girl pregnant.

I picked other....I would encourage adoption first, there are so many people out there that can't have babies and would make amazing parents (not that my daughter wouldn't, but she needs time to grow)......if she was against that I would encourage her to finish school with my help.

I would encourage her to get an abortion but if she didn't want to I would support her in any way I could.

I would tell her all three options, but ultimately it is up to her.

I would encourqaage her to keep the baby and that I would help her raise the baby as long as she went to school and worked.But if she wanted me to watch the baby while she went out to hang out with her friends every night,I would tell her the baby's your respnility.

  I only have a son, but if he got a girl pregnant, I would support them the best I could with whatever decision they made. I would also cry myself to sleep for months. :(

I would find out what she wants to do, adoption, abortion, or keep and support her completely with whatever she chose.


Our family is little and broken, but still good.
