manicmonday Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 If my daughter came home pregnant? Hummmm I assume that in the context of this question she is not married and she is under age. In that scenario I would let her have the baby and then sell it to a couple who wanted to adopt a baby. The money would go into a fund she could use for collage or something similar. Every cloud has a silver lining, you just have to look at it the right way sometimes to see it Not to be anal or anything, but I'm adopted and "SOLD" isn't the way I would describe it. Adoption doesn't = slavery. Quote The dick has no conscience and the heart has no rational abilities.
Lethalfind Posted April 1, 2006 Author Posted April 1, 2006 Not to be anal or anything, but I'm adopted and "SOLD" isn't the way I would describe it. Adoption doesn't = slavery. I agree, however I completely disagree with people being forcibly seperated from their children unless its deemed as necessary by the court. I would NEVER force my child to give her child away.\ In my adoption, the only money that was paid was for my birth Mother's hospital bill and my hospital bill as a newborn. After my Fathers death I found the bills in his files. Shocking how cheap it was to have a baby in 1967... Quote I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.
RoyalOrleans Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 It could be close that you got your teenage daughter pregnant? Ummm, OK, issues. I'm just saying. Fuck you. Sarcasm is so hard to convey over the net. I would use emoticons to express such things, however I find it is much easier to let people I think that way.

ImWithStupid Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 If my teenage daughter, who is turning 12 in a week and a half (so this thought has crossed my mind as she gets older), were to come home and say she were pregnant. What would I do? That's easy, I would at that point no longer have a daughter. >swipes hands together back and forth< Seriously, after saying I'll be back and go for a drive and listen to music, think and calm down, I'd be supportive at this point because, like coming home with a tattoo, the damage is done. As for the fate of the child, I would do everything I could to persuade her from aborting it. Though I have always taken the stance that as a man I don't feel I have the right to tell a woman what to do with her body or the fetus growing inside of it, unless the child was mine. Now that leads to some gray area as the fetus would become my grandchild. I think I would have a much stronger opinion and argument against having an abortion. If it was deemed that neither party was ready or capable for child rearing, I would push for taking it to term and putting it up for adoption. If my daughter was in say her later teens and felt she could raise the child with help, I would support that decision also. Would I take the child and raise it as my own? Probably not. Quote
RoyalOrleans Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 No I mean SOLD as in to the highest bidder, that is exactly what I mean. I hear the going rate is between 15K-20K higher if the kids got good genetics, and a clean bill of health. Abso-fuckin'-lutely! Don't buy a black baby, unless it's a boy and has long arms. That would mean a basketball scholarship. Don't purchase a white baby from anyone wearing a Dale Jr. t-shirt. Most of all, don't buy a baby with Middle Eastern heritage... it could have a bomb strapped to it.

TheJenn88 Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Most of all, don't buy a baby with Middle Eastern heritage... it could have a bomb strapped to it. LOL!!!!! I LOVE YOU FOR THAT ONE! That's almost... quotable! Quote
TheJenn88 Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Obviously... I'm a young'n here, so my opinion is going to be biased. And I have parents who ... well, don't care very much what I'd do, and my dad would give any consent to me doing anything. Anyways. If I were, say, 10-20 years older, and I had a teen daughter who got knocked up, I'd freak out. Hopefully internally, because I know she'd already feel like shit inside and out, and having others make her feel worse is probably not the best. She'll know she fucked up, and that she made an idiot of herself. IF she doesn't know that, THEN I'll tell her. However, I don't think it's a parents place to disown, or force any decision on their daughter. I'd try to keep calm-ish, and make all options available and clear to her, and help her make a decision. She made the decision to have sex and get pregnant with her body, she can make more decisions to do what she wants with it. I don't HAVE to agree with what she chooses to do, but I would try and support her emotionally, financially, whatever need be. I could never imagine my parents forcing me to make a choice for my body, after I had already made one, if I got pregnant. I could never imagine them telling me, "you can't get an abortioon." And for that reason - I would never tell my child that. Quote

And for that reason - I would never tell my child that. I wouldn't say "you can't get an abortion", I would do my best to talk her through it, making sure she knew I would be suportive, there are worse things then being a single Mother especially if your own Mother is willing to help but when your the one single and pregnant it seems like the worst thing in the world. If she refused to listen I would ultimately have to tell her that I can't give permission for her to have an abortion...since she has no other legal parent, I don't see it happening. Of course my concern would be that she would try and find a way to do it illegally. That would be a mess all around. Quote I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.
Lethalfind Posted April 3, 2006 Author Posted April 3, 2006 Parents never really disown their children, they just stop dolling out cash and providing them with a flop house. The parents that accept their children Quote I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.
