So because the odds aren't in your favor, give up completely. Got it.

Get his butt dragged in for a paternity test (just to make sure there's no excuses later).

You demand your daughter gets an abortion because you're not raising anymore babies (don't have the time, money, or resources), but your daughter refuses to get it aborted, as she wants to raise the child "on her own".


I guess you're going to have to help out, here. But, there's no more dating and such. She's going to care for the baby, AND get her GED.

A 15 year old cannot raise a child "by herself" without family help from the grandparents. Therefore, she does not have full control of the decision to keep or not keep the baby.

After much prayer, it is a family decision.


It's not a family decision. Its the mother's decision. Family can only lay down the consequences of being unsupportive. There are lots of places to offer counseling services etc. Ideally adoption is at the forefront but you are going to have a hard time changing the mind of a 15 yr old soon to be mother.

Make her have the baby then put it up for adoption. She can either do that or raise it on her on.

I say this now but if it actually happened my stance would probably be different.

She could stay in my house but she'll be responsible for paying for the child's supplies and there's no chance in hell I'm baby sitting.

And there's no way the kid who knocked her up would ever be welcome in my house.

To the OP, you seem like a nice guy, but the #1 reason why your 15 yr old may want the child is so they have someone to love them.

If it was my daughter, I would first feel like shite, because obviously my lack of love as a father drove her into the arms of a 17 year old. Then that same lack of love as a father caused her to chose a chaotic future filled with unconditional love over whatever roadmap/plan I had egotistically conditioned her to say yes to, as an overbearing parent.

If it were my child, I'd support her decision and love the grand baby as if it were my third. Hopefully being a better dad and loving her completely, for herself, will help her turn her life around before she gives up on her own future.

I would not be so strong with the abortion word. If she felt your love, it may be her suggestion, but without love, she will hold onto the new love she feels for her soul in her womb.

Life can be a beautiful thing; it's not the baby's fault. Embrace love as a conscious parent and your family will be the better for it.

I disagree with that. She is a minor under the control and supervision of her legal guardians. If they say the baby goes, I don't see how the baby doesn't go.

I would personally force the adoption after birth, as I am very against the idea of abortion, but I couldn't logically argue against the parents driving her to the clinic and having the abortion done.

I'd spend time with the kid but I'm not going to give up my Saturday so my daughter could have some "me time" because she's tired.

I don't know why I'm even in this thread because I'm not a parent.

That poor child will never grow up and be able to shoot 83 with his kind of support. He is doomed to being a lifetime hack.
