In depair but I know I can confide in PT

Can she talk to an agency about placing the child up for adoption? I am sure someone out there would be glad to adopt the baby.

Then, get some sort of counseling/frank discussion of the value of birth control so this cannot happen again ... never mind counseling so that she realizes she can do better for herself in terms of healthy relationships or even being on her own ...

Exactly what catnapper said. She needs to recognize that only she can change her life. Counseling would be the best thing for her. Do you think she'd consider it? As for the baby, I think adoption might be her best bet, although I know that would be very difficult to do. Do you think she'd consider adoption? She's in a really bad place right now, so I'd say to try to stick by her and support her, as hard as that may be for you (as I'm sure you're angry).
