If you found out your teenage daughter is pregnant would you

Question

A. Make her get an abortion

B. Make her put it up for adoption

C. Make her drop out of high school to raise it and get a job to pay for it

D. Help her raise it while she finishes up her highschool career

E. Let her decide what she wants to do and support her decision

Be Honest! What would you really do, know what would ideally do.

For me I would pick D and pay and help raise the kid on the condition that she continues her education.

Answer 1

E and then D if she decides to keep it. She'll always remember that and love you for that. It might be difficult to handle now but always remember no matter how bad things are now they will get better one day.

Answer 2

If my 16 year old daughter came to me and told me that she was pregnant, I would first ask her what she thinks she wants to do, and since I know my daughter very well, she would say either parent or adoption. Abortion will never be an option to her or to me.  She is very good with children, and I know that one day she would make a wonderful mother.  I personally however would suggest adoption.  The reason I think she might consider that is because adoption is very personal to us as a family. I am adopted and so is she.  However, the decision would be totally up to her.  

Answer 3

I would pick D. I would support my daughter in it. After all, it would be pretty fun to help take care of your grandbaby!

Answer 4

In all honesty, I've already raised my kids and I wouldn't do it again.  I would not want to be an enabler by making it easy.  If my child was stupid enough to get into this situation, I would suggest termination if it was still early.

Answer 5

E.

Answer 6

i would never force/pressure my child to get an abortion or to give up the baby for adoption. I would on the other hand make her keep the baby. I would help her through it as disappointed as i would be & make her finish her education. I wouldn't though take the responsibility of the baby while she went out & had fun/party. If she is old enough to have s*x & get pregnant then she is old enough to raise that child & grow up. Im not saying that i wouldn't help her but the baby would be hers not mine to raise. I would let her find her way to be a mother by encouraging her & giving her advice when wanted, rather then tell her howshe should  everything. Of course i wouldn't let her be stupid about the childs safety or health.

Answer 7

I would help her raise the baby, and let her finish school till its time for her to get a job and deal with her situation.

Answer 8

D. most definately

but i would support A. if she wanted to. i would NEVER make my daughter do that though.

Answer 9

I'm a young parent my self I'm 17 and I'm having my first it a girl i was really exited about it and my parents were with what ever decision i want to make. ABORTION is so wrong it's not the baby's fault ask her what she wants to do and support her all the way she's already under allot a pressure. Let her decide and stand behind her.

Answer 10

D

Answer 11

either D or E. it is her life first of all, so let her be the decision maker. maybe she doesn't want it. if she does, then D! she needs you, she needs help, support and advice from you. and you will be so happy to be a young Grandmaa :)

Answer 12

D or E.

It would honestly be the girls decision. Whatever she picks I would support her.

Answer 13

D but it still wouldn't be very easy for her.  She would be on permanent restriction.  She would be allowed to go to school and have some time alone in the evenings to study and do homework, but besides that she is on full time mommy duty.  No going out with friends and absolutely no dating, I won't support 2 grandchildren.  

Answer 14

Well, you can't pick A or B, no one can force those things.

I would pick D.  Not E because I don't believe in abortion, and I don't know if I could handle my grandchild being put up for adoption.

Answer 15

first of all i wouldn't let her have an abortion, strongly believe its not the babies fault for your actions! if she didn't want to raise it i'll make myself responsible for the baby! and if she wanted to keep it i'll be there all the way EVEN after high school!  

Answer 16

D but only if she promised to go to college!!

Answer 17

I'd encourage her to finish high school and go to university, one way or the other.  If she wanted to keep the kid and needed my help, I'd figure it was my karmic debt coming back to bite me, and I'd step up and do it.

Answer 18

I had a baby at 16 and finished school just fine without my parents raising my child.

If I had a child who became pregnant as a teenager I think I would suggest different things at a different age. First of all I would be VERY disappointed! I plan on teaching my children the reality of teenage pregnancy... I know first hand that it isn't all a bed of roses!

If my daughter was between 12-15 I would suggest adoption or even abortion. Even though I don't really condone abortion, being THAT young is a ridiculous age to be having children. You can't drive or get a job.

16-19 I would tell her to finish school and get a job to support her child. I did it and I wouldn't expect anything less of her.  

Answer 19

i would choose A and i am not ashamed to admit it... its the one thing with EVERYONE's best interest.... and just becuase you don't agree with it does not mean you need to look down at peolple who do becuase it is not like it is illegal

Answer 20

pick d its the best thing that you can do to support your child  

Answer 21

I would be really pissed off at her, but I would leave it up to her as to whether or not she wants to give it up for adoption or keep it to raise herself (with some assistance from myself and my husband). I would prefer that she raise it herself (I'd pick D) but it's her decision.
