Support the Adoption on 16 & Pregnant?

greengirl0909 · March 2010

Am I the only one who supports the adoption tonight on 16 & Pregnant? Seemed to me that little girl wasn't ready to raise a baby, dad wasn't stepping up to the plate, and the parents (grandparents) were fair in saying they didn't want to be parents again. Adoption was a great opportunity for baby to have stability and mom to have some options for success. Anybody out there agree?

I support it...although I think her parents could have talked about it WITH her instead of pretty much MAKING her do it.

I agree but it was not communicated to her in this manner. She is left feeling empty and this can cause her to be self distructive in the future.

Dont watch the show but It sounds like a great plan given the situation.

It did seem like it was for the best. I think it's a really tough situation to be in. It seemed like he should have stepped up and been a man and stopped changing his mind.

Definitely support it. I only watched part of the show tonight, but she definitely didn't seem to be in a good place to be handling a child of her own.

I agree, but I don't agree on the way it was handled at all. I think her parents should have been more supportive than pushy. Maybe sat down with her and pointed out the pros and cons of each situation instead of telling her how horrible the child's life would have been if she kept it. Glad it all turned out well!

I support it. I know she felt like her parents made her give the baby up for adoption but life is not a free ride. If she really wanted to keep the baby then she should have gotten a job, found a place to live, etc. she just kept waiting for the perfect solution to fall into her lap. She was not mature enough to raise the baby on her own. But her parents seemed like a couple of d-bags to me.

I agree with the decision I just think the girl needed more support then she was getting from everyone involved. I feel like she was pushed into adoption and that should not be the case.

I like the second set of parents better than the 1st....the dad kinda creeped me out a bit.

I could not stand the mother. I felt like instead of talking about the girls options she told her there was nothing to celebrate in her being pregnant and made her feel like she would not be welcome in the house without an adoption happening.

I don't think she was mature enough to have a child (most of them aren't but she seemed really young to me) But I still felt bad like the mom was forcing her hand.

Just so you know your title is a bit of a spoiler, it hasn't aired here yet on the west coast.

YIKES! Sorry, I totally forget about time differences.

Very much, she needed a better support system.

THIS. That mum was a huge bag about everything. That poor girl had literally no support and her bf was no help changing his mind repeatedly. I support the decision to adopt with open adoption but the mum could have been way more supportive and understand where she was coming from, given that she was adopted herself.

wachs · March 2010

I completely agree with it. IMO the girl was in no place to make the decision. She couldn't seem to make her mind up from one second to the next and did not seem to be able to make the choice on her own. I think the mom could have been more supportive but they also were making her face reality which I don't think she wanted to do.

Sorry for the run on...

The girl had no means of supporting herself or the baby once it was born and the parents made it clear they were not going to raise it. They shouldn't have to though. If she wanted to keep him she should have found a job and a place to live on her own insted of expecting everyone around her to help.

It drove me nuts when the baby's dad was holding him and she just kept saying "it's reeeeallly hard"- just give him a moment! I understand that she was trying to make sure they didn't get any other ideas in their heads, but she was just annoying! I liked the "grandfather"- I thought he seemed pretty supportive and tried to be understanding of his daughter's position.

stgn01 · March 2010

I support the idea of adoption and I think it was the best situation for this family. However, I don't agree with how they went about it at all! The parents were very forceful and the boyfriend wasn't much help either! And no one (expect the pregnant girl) was even talking about how hard it would be for her since she herself was adopted as well. It's like everyone just wanted to sweep everything under the rug and just get the adoption done and over with!
