Heck no. Teenagers aren't by definition bad or abusive parents. Lets face it, teenagers have been having children as long as there have been people on this earth. I'm not saying it's ideal with the way our culture is structured, but it's not unnatural either.
Also, no mother should EVER be forced to give up her child unless she's a real threat to that child. There's nothing more important than the bond between a parent and a child. Who is anyone to say that a mother doesn't have the right to parent her child just because she's young?
EDT: I second all those who said they'd kill anyone who tried to take their children. |

I'm 25 and no one should be forced to give up their child, unless the mother is physicall/mentally unfit and not capable to care for the child. It's a very personal decision, and there is always help available to those who seek it. |

Should the regular person walking down the street be FORCED to give up a lung, kidney, part of their liver or even HEART??
NO! That is cruel, unnecessary and evil.

no... not at all.
if you are stupid and putting your child at risk than the child hould be taken... but everyone deserves a chance. Just cause you're young doesn't mean you can't be a good mom... i know some older moms who are pretty horrible and who don't deserve their kids.. age doesn't matter
i'm 28 |

Hi NephthysGal,
Age has nothing to do with how good of a parent one is. What possible imagined benefit could be achieved by doing such a cruel thing? Do you have any idea how damaging American adoption can be on adoptees & their mothers? Nobody should have to suffer that pain unnecessarily. Parents should not ever be forced to lose their babies due to their age & babies should not be forced to lose their mothers due to their age either. Other than the adoption industry which could profit heavily from this, or infertile people, who might want to raise other people's babies, I really cannot imagine anyone supporting such a horrible idea.
Good luck on your survey. Let us know the results. Thanks.

No woman should be forced to surrender her child except in abuse cases. And the last time I checked, "Being a Teenager" isn't grounds for abuse charges.

No it's completely wrong to take a baby from his/her mother regardless of the mothers age. Just because a mother is a teen doesn't mean she will be a bad mother or that she shouldn't have support.
I am 48 now but I was one of those teens who was forced to surrender for no other reason than that's what my parents wanted. I was 19 years and had a well paying, secure job so there was absolutely no reason why I shouldn't have raised my son. If I had a daughter or son who became a teen parent I would have encourage them to raise their child.
I know the damage caused by being forced to surrender from personal experience and I wouldn't want to wish it on anybody. |

I always enjoy the stupidity remarks in reference to teens getting pregnant. What happened to God's perfect plan. He made us the way we are, yet we have evolved into a society who now believe that we should let our fertility dry up before considering using it.
If we were not to use our fertility until later in life, it wouldn't lick in until later in life. There are many advantages to being a young parent. Most important to the child would be being young enough to play with your children.
Besides ANY new parent young or old WILL make mistakes, it's the nature of the learning process. I have done both so I think I can speak on the subject.
NO! no one should be FORCED to give up their child simply because our society has deemed them too young. Our creator didn't think so, or are some people saying God made a mistake?
ETA: oops almost forgot, I'm old, my birth date isn't even on the register any more, I have to scroll to get to it. |

No one should be forced to give up their child. The choice to put a child up for adoption is very personal, with a lot of factors involved.
I will be 25 in two weeks. |

I was teen mom and have a Ph.D. now. My daughter graduated valedictorian and is now a junior in college. What do you think my answer would be, lol? Absolutely not! It would be a crime against humanity to do this. |
