(1,635 posts)Of course she has no intentions of caring for this baby. You are on the wrong track when you say she has never changed a diaper. Has she ever BOUGHT a diaper? You cannot be forced to raise someone elses child, especially if you have no control of it being born. You can order your daughter, if she wants to give birth, and clear her guilt, tell her it will be put up for adoption. Period. End of story. Or, she can be the parent and raise the child. She cannot make you. You enable her from her on out if you cave in. Help her through the pregancy. Start getting her involved in the adoption process. Tell her she can request letters from parents who want her child, and she can pick them. They do this you know. She can do what a twelve year old can do in her situation. So can you. The baby is not your child. It's your grandchild. Tough decisions. But I agree, her life will never be what it can be. So step up. Start the adoption process and tell her how this will be handled. Adoption. Period.
