You make a good point which I had not thought about. Thanks for the insight.

I have felt that it was good for her to encourage girls to avoid getting pregnant without marriage, and avoid the involvement with boys which lead to that. But you make a good point, that she neither married that guy, nor gave up the baby for adoption. In that sense, you’re right, she chose to be a single mother, with all of the problems that entails.

To paraphrase a movie I saw about teen pregnancy, out of a garbage dump of a situation of teen pregnancy, adoption gives the adopting family a blessing. Unfortunately, our culture is so accepting of single motherhood, that too few consider the adoption option.

If you have the support of a great family, then I don't see why she would take the chance of putting her baby out into the world. Not all adoptions are as rosey as the life she and her family can provide for this youngster.

I believe in adoption, but I also think that we should try to make the best of bad situations. She has a great and supportive family. There are plenty of good male role models in their family. The grandfather - Todd - and the great grandfather - Sarah's Dad - get no better. The child is in great hands... plus, Bristol is a pistol. She seems to be a great mom.
