Need some "legal" advice.....

I long ago stopped talking about any one member here. I was speaking in general about 15 year olds, which does not even apply to this PT member. As far as I know this young woman has family and friends to help. She is older and in school.

Again Sparks the merely obvious was what I stated but for you the incredibly obvious is needed.

I agree, Marigold, so referred to the many people who do this, and don't have even basic support for the baby.

Racing Gurl, I hope you don't feel that you personally were being bashed. This kinda wound up being two topics in one thread.

hugs!

Dear Racing, Yes please except my my heartfelt apology if anything I said here hurt your feeling. My first post referred to you to consider adoption, all later posts where generic. If my daughter who is 20 was in your situation I would also talk to her about adoption. She has no desire or want of a child right now, she is too busy being 20, buying the latest nail polish, new in purse, going to the movies, going out to eat, going to get her hair down, travling, having dinner parties and working on her career. She is young, single and free and living it up. A baby would not be wanted or needed by her. She wants to focus on herself and frankly I think that is great. Plus she gets to keep her cute figure. Smart girl.
Your feelings are your own, as is this decision. I wish you the very best of luck and much happiness.
My posts were aimed at America in general and young woman in general.
At least here in america we can choose, we have a voice and we alone can decide to keep our child. Each woman has to live with that decision and hopefully she never regrets it. I have not regreted mine. My only hope is that fewer 15 year olds have to make that decision.

LOL


I thought everyone was expressing their views on single moms in general.
It would be very hard to give advice (except law ) to someone you didn't
know personally.

LOL .... nice snarky comment there

You started out with how she should adopt.... then went on to explain that those who live in poverty should give their kids a better life..... how that applied to this thread I have no idea. forgive me for needing the obvious stated.... but I was not the only one that felt you were assuming this member was not capable of raising her own child.... afterall you stated she should adopt out and then stated reason for adoption is poverty and being a child and having "better things to do" than raise your child.

had you started out saying that those who are in extreme poverty and cannot provide the nessecities of life were the ones who should adopt out (instead of saying it in direct relation to the OP).... perhaps you wouldn't have gotten the reaction from everyone that you did.
