first off good for him for wanting to keep it because he understnads that he created that baby. Second off he need to check with the city for help for people that have no money or low income money to get help for the mommy and the baby. There are places out there that can help with the whole pregnancy and then places that can help with food and then clothing and stuff. They also need to make sure that parent know and not hide it. I will be hard to tell them but it is best off to tell them ealry enough so that they now you might need help and that you tell them first not them find out on there own.

Tell him you don't think he's mature enough to support a baby. He's already gotten kicked out of 2 high schools, cannot support the baby on his own, does not live on his own... His best bet is to give the child up for adoption - some adoptive parents will allow you to contact them from time to time to see how the kid is doing or they'll send a postcard. Your cousin also needs to talk to his parents about the whole situation.

Absolutely not. Not even a chance. This is not about Him or Her. This is about a baby. They are both going to do the first adult thing in their lives and carry that baby to term and then give that baby for adoption to a married couple that has the emotional and physical needs of that baby in mind. 15 with a baby what a joke...See how damaged that kid will be in 15 years if they keep it. Abortion is not a choice because its straight murder. Tell them to grow up and think of the baby long term. They wont get it, but at least you gave them the right answer. Call a local adoption agency and give them the info.

Tell him to talk the mother into giving the baby up for adoption. Teenagers have nothing to offer a baby except a life of hardship. There are plenty of willing, deserving people that would love to raise that child.
Oh, and tell him next time to glove it up or keep the fly closed up! I'm sick of reading the same freaking scenario over and Over and OVER again!!!

If they can get married, they can keep the baby. But they should seriously consider putting the baby up for adoption. They should think of what's best for the baby at a time like this.

tell him to go to WIC.
it helped my family when my brother was born
but I agree with some of these people; they should give it up for adoption. Give the baby a chance to live, and maybe have a ceremony where the adopting parents will promise to care for the baby and this ceremony is very emotional.
Kudos to you for trying to help ur cuz in this crisis! God Bless to y'all!

Adoption, adoption, adoption.
If he can't even behave to stay in school, how is he going to be a father to this child?
Recommend that they look into adoption. 15 year olds, no matter how mature, are capable or ready to have a baby.

How are you gonna support a baby at 15? What job are you gonna get? Where are you gonna live? I would then tell him to give it up for adoption and so the baby can have a real chance at life.

If he's asking for your advise then you should encourage adoption. Look at the statistics for teenage kids who keep their babies, most of those babies grow up to be pregnant teens too. Stop the cycle before it starts!
