| melissa | Posted: Jul 13, 2006 11:48:37 AM I'm sorry to hear how bad your daughter is doing with this. She does have some time. Just let her know that you are there to help her any way when she is ready. You need to understand that her life is now completely different than what she is used to. At her age that is a BIG deal and hard to cope with. Understanding and reassurance is what she needs. However, she does need to be realistic - her problems won't just go away by not dealing with them. I do feel that if she is not ready to be a mother, adoption is the way to go. So many wonderful couples and families can not have children. They want nothing more than to be parents. My husband and I are one of these couples. Best wishes and God bless. | ||
| Sherry FLoyd | Posted: Jul 09, 2006 10:13:42 PM I have a twenty year old daughter that is very early in her pregnancy - that has ended a bad realtionship and recently moved back home. She is heartbroken and over whelmed at putting her life back together. She first talked about adoption, when she first learned of her pregnancy and has refused to discuss the matter since... seeming to me to be torn between her decisions, in need of some counseling and a direction, but won't because she's so heart broken and confused. HOw do I talk to her to get her to open up to couseling - Couseling I feel my daughter needs right now so she can be better informed and prepared to make her decisions? | ||
