Well this is a tough one for me. I just found out that my 17 year old daughter is pregnant. She just told me this afternoon, I was the first one to know after the father. I am very hurt right now and just focusing on how we are going to let the rest of the family know. I need all your prayers and support. She decided that she was going to have the baby. For the moment this is all I could say...

Ohhhhhh Zaid! Hugs to you! I know that you are stressing right now, but at least she told you and now you can make sure that she and the baby get the health care that they need. Unfortunately she has made a mistake that will last a lifetime. Don't be hard on yourelf, it was her mistake. Well, and his! I wish you all the best of luck and a healthy bouncing baby!!!!!  |

I will keep you all in my prayers! I'm so glad you have a relationship where she can come and be honest with you. I know someone that told her parents she was raped because she didn't want them to know about her boyfriend. That was harder on them then the truth would have been. She will need you now more than ever. Love and prayers to you all!!

Thank you all for your replies. She's in the early stage of pregnancy, she's only 8 weeks pregnant. I'm taking her to my GYN on Tuesday so he could check that everything is doing well. I'll keep you posted about her doctor's visit. Again thank you. And please I need your prayers. My family is a very old fashion Latin family.

Zaid, I feel for you and I know it isn't what you had hoped for by any means. I'm sure your family will be understanding.
Could your daughter consider adoption?

Well...wow! I'm certain that this isn't the timing (for a new baby) that you would have wanted for your daughter! However babies are a blessing and will bring you much joy, happiness and love! I too had a baby young (and single) and it was a bit tough and I know I couldn't have gotten through the early years without the love and support of my family! That situation also gave me some direction and I grew in so many ways.....to this day I believe my DD is my angel sent to give me purpose! I wish you and your daughter many patients and open communications! Sounds like she's not afraid to confide in you! Lots of love to you both! |

Oh, Zaid, ((((((HUGS)))))))! May God be with you, your daughter and the rest of your family. I know so much must be spinning through your head. I had my daughter at 17 also. Just keep on loving her and you'll all come out the other side of this OK. |

True tolerance is loving someone despite actually disagreeing with them. There is nothing to tolerate if you are not bothered. Honesty and transparency are virtues to be treasured - don't hide your beliefs in the name of tolerance, be honest about where you stand, just do it with love.  |

I was 19 when I had to tell my own mother I was pregnant. At first, she was in denial, and then she was upset, but after only a few weeks, she got excited and we went shopping. When my dad found out, he said, "Well, we're a pro-life family, and we don't give away our babies, so we will support you."  My parents are also very traditional, so it was hard at first, but everyone in the family eventually accepted it and things have really worked out great! My son is 7 and starting 2nd grade this fall. I was in college at the time, but I did finish my bachelor's degree -- with honors. I have a lot of respect for women who make the adoption choice - because it is definitely hard, but definitely can be the right thing to do for some young women. PM me if you want to chat!  |

When my dad found out, he said, "Well, we're a pro-life family, and we don't give away our babies, so we will support you." I love your Dad!  |
