honest & humble opinion from a father of a now 22 yr old daughter:

Either

1) help arrange an adoption NOW and have her sign off on it asap or

2) Help arrange a legal termination of the pregnancy asap

Barman, those were the first things that came to mind, but mom is strongly pro life and wouldnt allow the adoption thing, although I think thats the best option.....She is on honor society and has schools like Baylor after her....down the crapper

A 16 year old with a child is no life at all - she had sex and got pregnant - it happens all the time - get an abortion and mAke sure she gets on birth control - having a child at age 16 is not a choice it would only ruin her life

Huh? Isn't the # of girls who have had an abortion probably like less than 5%?

Although I totally agree, gotta abort. She is just a kid herself and its not like shes like your avg HS girl who gets pregnant (lets face it most of the time it isn't the smart girls) but shes honors society and all that so it would really hurt her life. I'm sure you can rationally explain it to your wife...

Let us know on what you decide, if not, we will all understand. Very tough decision on the whole family.

Finding out your teenager daughter is preggers has gotta hurt. It's not the end of the world though. Its not the 60's anymore where they have to go to special high school mom schools or you have to worry what the neighbors are going to say. She just has to take on more responsibility earlier in life that's all.

I myself think in the long run if the circumstances are right and both young parents work together to raise the child then it is actually better in the long run to shoot out some kids when you are young yourself. Think about you have your parents to help you raise the kids, you get to enjoy the kids more while you are young instead of being 45 years old and trying to keep up with an active 10 year old and since the age gap isn't too far off you are in tune to what is going in your child's society as they grow up.
