my 14 year old doughter is pregnant and wants to keep baby. me and my wife are 110% against this, do we have the right to force her to give this baby up for adaoption or does she being a minor have the right to keep this baby.

Why this poor girl has not run away from home is beyond me.

Love her, support her, after the baby is born you may change your mind, or she may change her mind.

There may be some religious groups that can help.
If she decides to adopt the child out also many religous groups will help find loving familes.

Often some adopting families will allow her to stay part of the childs life.

you people are telling me that this 14 year old girl can raise a baby with no income no place to live no help from the so called boyfriend who is 16 and no help from her family. it sounds like she has 2 choices to me 1 have the baby and her life and the rest of her childhood is over or 2 have an abortion and start over without all the responsabilities that come from a baby.i had a child at 20 and that was hard enough so i know about having kids. with this baby she has no chance at making a good life for herself. and how can you people say that a 14 year old can make a decision like this. dam she is 14.

No we are telling you her parent and her other parents to step up to the plate and do your job. She is to live at your home, with you helping her.

If not she can go into foster care ( and beleive me they sound move loving than you have been sounding inyour posts) where she will be raised with her baby in a foster home untill she is 18.

And the rest of her childhood "is over" if she has an abortion, or gives the baby up, her time of being a child is basicly changed for ever.
She is not going to be that same little girl that you want to make pretend and make believe can happen.

The only one not seeing what is suppose to happen is you for some reason.

And she can make a good life, if her family is there to support her.

I can't beleive anyone can be so unloving and hateful toward thier own child. Get this down, she is going to have a baby, she messed up, this doesnot ruin her life, it changes it. With the right loving and caring parents, she learns, has a baby, goes back to school and maybe college and has a life.

What is the problem is that you don't want to have to help her.
What is your problem in steping up and doing what any soon to be grandparent has done for 100s of years in cases like this.

Very well put....Fr Chunk this person can not deal with the issue is what I can see, they seem not willing to step up and make alife for there grandchild ! I guess some people just really don't care or want to care.

Paynter167 You are a abusive son of a -----. You come on here going on about a 14 year old and how dare us say that she has every right to keep her baby. In the same breath your threatning to beat the ---- out of her. What kind of person are you? Your evil piece of dirt.

Jesushelper76

I pray that God deals with you in his own way. We are judging you for being an abusive, uncaring, controling not knowing love that should be given to your daughter. No more name calling. I pray that God deals with you. That is much better. He is the ultimate judge that will be knocking at your door. You as a parent messed up and now you need to take responsibility as a parent and Grandparent. If not then I hope somebody else does in a Loving, Caring way.

You know what it says in the last days ??? Well this guy fits the bill BIG TIME....He will have to answer on that roll call for his actions on this earth !! No one is perfect, but there is a diffrence when your sick like this dude.....Please go seek some help for you and your daughter as well as your wife before you RIP your family apart.

Jesushelper76

Amen! Excellant post. He needs help. His whole family needs help.

Your daughter is pregnant because she needs love and she wants someone to love, if you can't see that you and your wife are blind! The least you can do is seek proffesional help for your whole family!
