On teenage pregnancy

Oh gosh! That's a tough one considering I have two daughters. If it does happen (God forbid that it does), there's really nothing you can do with it, but accept the situation. Abortion is definitely not an option here. Depending on my daughter's age and depending if she loves the father of the baby, I'd let them decide if they would want to get married or not. I wouldn't push them to get married just to save face. I'll leave it for them to decide. Then of course, I'll support them all the way especially my daughter who'll be needing me more in a time like this.

Give her all the love and support you can...no judgments...and help her make the hardest decision of her life by allowing her to explore each option. This is tough but you can both grow and deepen through this or it can haunt her for the rest of her life if she isn't supported through her decision process.

Though I would support her no matter what decision she made, I would encourage her to keep her baby. I plan to instill in my girls the morals of waiting until marriage because I know from experience how hard teen pregnancies are. However, if my girls feel they are old enough for the baby-making process, then they must understand what the benefits of that process are. (wink, wink) I would explain that added responsibilities mean that certain pleasures must take a back burner. She, not I, would be taking care of the baby. I would share my displeasure of her decision, but I would emphasize that what happened doesn't change how much I love her. Above all, I would be there for her as a sounding board and confidante because is going to need that more than anything. Punishing her would probably be that worst thing to do because she's going to feel like she's already being punished.

Your info does not say exactly what age of a teen, but I would love her unconditionally. I would go b4 the Lord and pray 4 her and anyone else involved. This may not b the best time for a child but it may b the best to mature your teen and who knows your family also. Jeremiah 29:11-14 please take the time to read. If not for yourself but anyone involved.
