no way would I let her have an abortion. I would talk with her and see what she wants to do. If she chose to keep the baby, I would help her raise it and help her be the best mother she could be. after all she is my daughter and I love her and that is my grandchild from CONCEPTION not birth. If she wanted to give the baby up for adoption, as hard as it would be to let my grandchild go, I would let that be her decision.

I would see what she would want to do, personally, if I was pregnant when I was a teen I would put the child up for adoption in the best possible care. I know I wouldnt be able to give the care the child needs. However, some teen mothers really strive and are good mothers. Its their choice and how they want to live it out.

I wouldn't make her do anything, I would support whatever decision she made. I would wish to know who the father was so I could have them arrested. I would hope that she would want an abortion as at 12 she would most likely be too young emotionally and physically to cope with having a child. But again , the decision would be hers.

i would put it up for adoption if i were her and finish my schooling.. she hasnt even started high school..

Abortion is murder. But at her age, raising a child would be almost impossible. Therefore adoption would be the only choice.

What I would do to the father would be considered murder too.

It's up to her. I wouldn't talk her into or out of an abortion. It is her choice.

honistly its up to u, her life will be over so its really on if u want to raise the child, the humiliation that will go along with it. Shes to young to decide for herself and after w.e u decide to do put the grl on the pill... good luck with everything keep us updated

In most, if not all, states, it would not be up to me. A 12 year old has the right to her own reproductive choices in law.

I would raise the baby myself. I wouldn't want my daugher to have the emotional baggage of abortion, adoption or raising the child. I would want her to be a part of her child's life - but only in a context that she is emotionally ready for.

It's a human child. Help her look after it.

no. but you should give it out for adoption.or you can keep it.its better than abortion or killing someone

i think should at least give it out for adoption or keep it. it be much better than abortin or killing someone

I would have to find a baby sitter. If I worked all day. During the pregnancy higher a tutor when she is about 7 months before that let her go to school. when she graduates she can do what she wants with 6 year old little girl. By the time the 12 year old is 17 the baby will be 5! starting school think about it

I would make her keep the baby the because if you think about it then it like wow i just killed an innocent baby because my daughter wants to have unprotected sex and that makes it even worse because you kept ur daughter alive and here she is ready to kill her own baby. INSTEAD OF KILLING THE BABY JUST GIVE IT OUT FOR ADOPTION SO WHEN IT GROWS UP IT CAN ENJOY HIS OR HER'S LIFE! GOT IT!

kolkanuck has a good point:-) When my daughter was 12 years old, I think a pregnancy would have been life threatening. She was small for her age. I would have to consult with a doctor to see if it would be safe for her to endure a pregnancy and give birth. I would rather have my daughter alive and healthy.

It depends on how she became pregnant. Rape/incest? Consenting sex? I can't imagine forcing my 12 year old daughter to carry a baby to term and then either giving it up or keeping it after the trauma of rape and incest. Having said that, I would give her all the facts I had access to, present the pros and cons of all of her choices, go to counseling with her, and ultimately let HER have a say in the decision.

well, here in australia that would be illegal(preg. at 12), here the legal age for sex is 16... but if that situation arose for me, i would support her 210%%% being her mother after all, i would naturally be concerned

I have a 12 year old daughter and would go up the wall if i knew she was getting up to anything sexual never mind coming home pregnant to be honest i would not want her to keep the child as at 12 they are still only children themselves and i would be the one who would probley bring up the child and if i wanted more children i would have had more myself ,thankgod my daughter is a very good girl whos only interest is her computer

The thing that you have to keep in mind is that she is only 12 meaning this child will most likely be your child as well. Do you want to raise another baby?

she made the decision to have unprotected sex now she can make the decision of how to deal with the consequences.

I think it depends on several factors. The first one being: is the mother physically devloped enough to handle a delivery? Can the baby be delivered via C-section if she is not physically developed enough? Is the pregnancy a result of rape or incest? Is the mother's life at risk if she delivers the baby What is the child's opinion? What does she want to do? But most importantly... WHY IN THE HELL IS THIS CHILD PREGNANT TO BEGIN WITH??? WHERE WERE THE PARENTS? WHY DIDN'T THEY TALK TO HER BEFORE ABOUT WAITING UNTIL SHE IS MORE MATURE TO MAKE A DECISION TO HAVE SEX?? THE PARENTS SHOULD BE SLAPPED!!! My daughter is almost 17. She is popular, beautiful, talented, smart, and NOT sexually active. She has boys practically falling at her feet for her attention. But, we have always talked about everything. I began talking to her about physcial relationships when she was about 10. I had talked to her before about "good touch/bad touch". She is now a young woman who chooses to wait until she is married or at least much older and in a serious relationship to have sex. She says, "mom, I have better things to do than have sex. I have plenty of time for that stuff later" It is all in how you raise them!!! Children learn by example! Quit being your child's "friend". Be a PARENT for Christ's sake!!!! Lay down the law! Unless this child was a victim of abuse by a stranger or a relative, there is NO excuse for this to happen!! I blame the parents!!!
