Abortion is an option, in fact it is the best option.

It happens it's called real life.
The media has forced kids to grow up too quick.
This is not a new situation just a sad one as you wouldn't wish it for either of them.
Firstly the deed is done so accept it
Secondly discuss and plan for all involved.
Adoption is an option, but if your daughter wants to keep this baby she will need your support.
Who will do the child care, pay for all things a baby needs.
I suggest that you meet with the boys parents too.
This does not have to be a tragedy! If both families can come together it can work out.
Good luck
Please though don't forget to ensure your daughter gets sorted out with reliable contraception as soon as the baby is born.

I don't know what you would do. But I would have her get an abortion.

You would do the best you can. Unfortunately, no matter how much direction we give our kids, we cannot leash them or control them all the time. Obviously it is too late to guide the kid about the consequences of sex. She is about to learn first hand. But perhaps you can prevent further damage to both your daughter, her boyfriend and the grandkid to be.

This happened to my daughter at 15. My wife and I were devastated to say the least. We faced the problem head on, researched all options and listened to my daughters input. 8 years later they are still together and going strong. No, it doesn't take a village to raise a child - but a strong family certainly helps...

I am soooo grateful I don't and will never have kids. I vote for adoption. 13 is wayyyy too young to have a responsibility like that....

The Mistake Is Already Been Made Wether It Was Because You Failed Or She Wanted To Grow Up Is Done Is To Late To Take It Back. Keep The Kid And Help Her Raise It. Have Her Get A Part Time Job And Go To School So That Way She Can Finish Her Education And Have Some Money To Support That Child.

Considering that abortion isn't an option, that leaves either parenting or adoption. I would take my child's input into consideration, as it is ultimately her life. She will make her own decisions to regret or embrace. Either is not an easy road, however regardless of her choice, she will need strong family support. Ultimately, your daughter is the parent of this life, not you, so it must be her choice. You are merely there as a network of help, love, advice, and support.

Probably adoption, but maybe raise the child. The 13-year old sure isn't in a position to raise it. And why isn't abortion an option?

My daughter is almost 15 and I have thought about this many times before. I'm still young, 38, so we could keep the baby and raise him/her all together. Or adoption. I'm an adoptive child too...

I am a little surprised with the meanness of many of the answers.
What is done is done. Love her and pray for wisdom about it. I believe often in these cases the Grandmother and Grandfather become mom and dad.
It is a very scary situation, and traumatic, but I agree that killing the little life , innocent one because of a mistake is not acceptable.
May God give you Grace, wisdom and strength to face this keeping your relationship with your daughter strong. She needs you to be strong for her. She is going to face things she is not prepared for as you know.
It could happen to any parent. This culture does a great job of selling sex without consequences, a big lie.
I send you a hug.

I would never force a life choice like this on my child so she would be able to act according to her own conscience even if it's abortion or keeping it. Giving birth at such a young age can be quite risky for some. Also being a rational adult, I would see that this is at least partially my fault if my daughter had been with boys at that age....I clearly failed to teach her proper self respect because that is quite contrary to the morality I would have endeavored to teach.

Oof, heavy.
Adoption is the best option. People shouldn't be held to mistakes they make at 13 for the rest of their life and raising a child severely limits what she can do with her life once she's out of high school.

Don't get an abortion at anytime i believe a person has a soul as long as there is some type of body or form. Go and put it up for adoption but in the same return be ready for the pain you and her will have to be getting into its going to suck and isn't easy never seeing the child you had even if your young you still love your own child. i would say keep it but 13 years old is to young to soon.

I had my first daughter when I was 13, and I kept her. My mom kicked me out of the house and I went to live with my grandfather.
If one of my daughters came to me at 13 and said they were pregnant my main concern would be making sure she was ok.
I am with you though abortion is not the answer but I know having a baby that young is very hard not only on the girl but on the family. I was very blessed that my family chose to help (except my mom). Have you looked into adoption. There are many different routes in just that

Abortion is NEVER an option!!! At thirteen the boy are well as the girl isn't ready. It becomes your job to raise the child as yours----allow them BOTH the right not to take on more than they can handle---mainly for the baby's sake as well as theirs. Remember there are TWO of them The father MUST be part of this. THe baby will be YOURS. The children will need to live with this---it's the only kind of responsibility they're able to assume. Then all of you go out and campaIgn to change society so it will deal with this problem as it should be dealt with. Remember abortion kills the only party in the scenario who you KNOW is innocent!
