I can't say 100% what I would do about the male counterpart but if my daughter were to get pregnant...after I was done having a conniption, I would tell her she has to "woman up" and take care of her child. I would let her live at home but she would have to work at being a mom. I would help her care for the baby while she finished school. I would also make sure donor daddy was involved either emotionally and/or financially.

Tell her to grab me a bottle of some fine scotch. I wouldn't be able to do or say a thing, if I were sober.

what an interesting, daunting scenario.

first, I would like to say, I would be very, very ashamed if my unmarried, teenage dd got pregnant. I would truly be mortified. I would speak to my rav, my mashpia, and my trusted friends. I would try to get help for myself, so I could be in the best emotional space to help my dd.

that said, I would not want dd to give her baby up for adoption, nor have an abortion. I would hope dd would have her baby, and allow mommy and tatty to raise their grandchild while dd continued school or got job training. dd would be welcome to stay in our home with her baby as long as she needed to.
