I loved this on Lindsey's blog! i sent it to my mil and told her to have my niece watch it. She is now living with my mil and the baby will come home there once he is born...Toni I fear for this little boy! You and I have many friends that we know who have placed their babies with loving families and and we have friends who are adopted..and obvioulsy your grand-babies. My niece is 17 and thinks she knows it all. I know I cannot make her decisions for her,although I wish I could! She has talked to me many times about what she wants for Hayden (baby),and it all comes down to her wanting to keep Hayden so she has someone to love her. And she wants the boy to stay with her...Between the two of them they have nothing...not a dime to their name, not a place of their own, no jobs, etc. What can I do?! My mil is now supporting her and has said that she will not change her mind. I ould love for her to sit with LDS social services and just talk ...no pressure on placing Hayden, just give her guidance on how to care for he rbaby and hopefully meet with other girls in her situation, both placing and keeping their babies. To get some council from a professional! I don't want her to hate me because I feel she should palce her baby, but I want her to know her options and she has asked me several times what I would do in her situation and I told her. Any advice on how to chat with her and not sound like a nag?? Love ya, miss ya!!
