This is Alaska we are talking about, the culture is different there. It’s like a cross between the Modern lower 48 and U.S. pioneer days...The youngsters are probably light years mature compared to the ones down here.
Who are we to make any suggestions, except not to have an abortion? Can you imagine if someone found out they had adopted the grandchild of the VP of the U.S.? That works well.
I still think that adoption is the best thing for all involved in such situations. Even in Alaska, teens are not ideal parents.
Have you ever been to Alaska??? It’s not that backwoods.
It’s reminds me more of the culture in my grandparents small town in East Texas.
