A couple of months ago I posted about my great-nephew Max and trying to get custody of him. Long story short we didn't get him. So...my oh so sweet and loving mildly autistic daughter took it upon herself to "give" us a baby.
The day we found out we wouldn't be getting Max there were lots of tears all around and my daughter suggested she give us a baby. I was like...NO you shouldn't do that, it's hard on your body to have a baby and George and I would be just as loving together without a baby. Well....she went and did it anyway. I'm 99% sure that she's pregnant. While I love her to bits and I understand where her thinking was coming from I'm not totally sure what to do. She won't be able to care for this baby, we will definitely have to raise it, which is fine, I'm just not sure she's ready for what's going to happen to her body.
I'll be taking her to planned parenthood for an official test next week. Then I guess I need to talk to a lawyer.
Oh yeah..because of her autism she will be most likely living with me the rest of her life so the child will know it's birth mother. This is just sooooo weird!!!
