Claire, I think you'd be too much fun to hang out with in person...lol
In answer to the poll....I don't have daughters, just sons. Realistically, I don't think I'll ever know if they've made me a grandma....
But... If this was back a few years, when they still talked with me, I'd probably meet with the girls parents & both the kids & discuss the situation and see what we came up with. If she decided to keep the baby, then my son would do what he could to help support the baby and would take his turn in taking care of it.
I will let you do the math, my daughter is 29, I am 46. her birthday is Sept 25th- mine is Sept 28th.
I would strongly advise her of what drastic changes were going to happen in her life is she was to have this child, I would also strongly suggest adoption, but in the end it would be her choice after being well informed.
the only good thing about starting so young is that my kids are grown while I am still young. But was not at all fair to the kids to have kids for parants.

Thankfully I didn't have to cross that bridge. Way before my daughter was 16, around 14 when her first friends at school were getting knoked up and the grandmothers were raising grandchildren, I told her if she got pregant she better make sure the boy could support them, or give it up for adoption, cause I wasn't going to raise a baby, if I'd wanted one I'd have had one myself. We got lucky, she didn't get pregnant in high school.
Then when she was 21 she did get pregnant, and I knew I was going to end up raising it, she was living with the daddy but he was a useless scumbag. She lost that one though, I have to believe it was God's will cause neither of us were in any position to raise a child. I'm just so happy that she has a good husband and a good home to raise one in now, and she's mature enough to handle it.
There's really no way to answer a question like this ahead of time, you never know what you'll do until you're faced with it. You just have to do the best you can.
As the father of a 17 year old girl, I dread this situation. I'd give her a huge hug and try to talk her through the options. The choice would have to be hers and I'd support her 100%.
And I should add, I always ask my daughter where her boyfriends live, so that if anything happens to her I will know where to find them to hammer their heads to the floor with a six-inch nail. I always ask her to let them know that I said this.
