My cousin Connie had a child when she was around 18, and her mother(my aunt) Rita starting raising the little girl, after that she adopted her.

The girl is about 12-13 now, and still lives with her grandparents, but visits her mom sometimes.

I don't really have alot of advice, nor do I know what *I* would do if I had a baby to take care of at anywhere near my age, I do know that I would feel really bad if my mom had to do much of what I was suposed to be doing.

Sorry, no help!
