My 18 year old daughter told me this evening one of her best friends is pregnant. This young girl has always wanted to be a Mum but she is being pressured by her boyfriend to have an abortion. She is also worried her parents will disown her and hasn't told them. I have told my daughter I will do everything in my power to help her friend, but now even my daughter is suggesting it may be better for her friend if she didn't keep the baby. Consequently this young girl who always wanted to have a child is now increasingly thinking that abortion is the solution. She also wants to break off with the boy but is worried that if she has his baby he will be always in her life. You guys have helped so much before, thanks so; PLEASE WILL SOMEBODY HELP FIGHT THIS BATTLE WITH ME! In Christ Jesus, many thanks. |

Thanks all of you - and thank God for this forum. Let's do battle. Suddenly the fight seems shockingly all too real - when it's brought so close to home... |

Emee, my prayers too of course. I think almost invariably in these cases the right thing is for the girl to tell her parents. She may well be pleasantly surprised at their reaction and that in itself may change her view. Forgive me for appearing to blunder in without knowing all the facts of the case but my observation is based on a few cases that seem very similar to yours. John |

What about adoption to a married couple?? Both birth parents will sign away their rights, so the boyfriend will be off the hook (is this allowed in the UK?). And the girl and boy will not begin their adult lives knowing they killed her first child. Edited by JRJ, Tuesday, 15. September 2009, 01:29.

Exactly what I was about to suggest as I scrolled down this page, Jennifer. Emee, maybe you or someone at church will know of someone in a position to adopt the child? Perhaps the real mother could become their family friend and be a sort-of aunt to the child, without the undesirable boyfriend getting in the way! Or just step aside herself as well? Praying, important that that is, is not just about leaving God to sort a problem... but also, and rather more importantly, that He may inspire US to wake up in the morning somehow knowing how to sort it! So many expect God to do the work Himself - God usually inspires us how to resolve a situation after we pray. He seldom pops on His overalls/housecoat and turns up to do it Himself!

Do people have any say in who adopts their children these days? In my prayers, Emee. |
