If your teenage daughter had a baby, chose to remain unmarried yet keep the baby’s father in its life, and, after you telling her to put the baby up for adoption, decided she was going to be a mother to her child, would you disown her? Kick her out of your house? What would you do?
That’s a tough one. It would depend on the circumstances of the decision.
As I say, I don’t have anything bad to say about the way Sarah and Todd Palin handled this.

Ooo, I’ll answer!
I would explain to her that the most unselfish thing she could do for that baby is to give him/her a mom and dad who love each other so much that the love encompasses their family.
I would help her find a great adoption agency that would let her keep in contact with her child. Lots of them out there.
If she decided to keep the baby, I would know that I did all I could do and love them just the same.
How’s that?
