Congrats MaMaw,I'm glad that she brought him over to see you. I am guessing by the post that the stepson doesn't know that he has a son...

God Bless!

Congratulations. It sounds like the mother has a good head on her shoulders. It must have been a difficult, but mature decision for her to go against what her parents were telling her. Enjoy your new blessing!

How wonderful...what a blessing! I'm glad that she kept baby n not abort...many young people abort. My stepdaughter had 3 abortions!! My husband is so sad about her doing that.. She said she made a mistake getting PG my husband said one time is mistake.

Congrats...on new grandbaby

My stepson didn't now about the baby but I finally got hold of him last night and informed him of his son and we reuniting father and son today.He almost cried over it when I told him last night,He said that the mother was the one girl he never got over breaking up with and he was going todo everything he could to get his family back.

I had along talk with him and told him that he needed to straighten up his life and be a father to this child,even if the parents are not together this little boy needed an active father in his life.I do have to say that my stepson is a hard worker and will hold a job better than most kids today.

I call him my stepson but he is the son of my husband's 1st wife who passed away.His father was never in his life and my hubby was the only father he ever knew.So when we married he was part of the package.I love him just like my own, to me he is mine as well as his son,he calls me "Mom".

I feel like that God has sent me this child not to take the place of the gd that I lost but to help heal the pain in my heart of loseing her.It seems as if just when my world is shattered HE sends me something/someone to help put it all back together again.

I'm so glad that she want to have a relationship with you and that she seems like a stable girl.

Congratulations on your new gbaby! :)

MaMw, I hope everything works out -- I'll say many prayers!!!

Congrats. May God protect all the babies that are being born. I say this because my daughter is yet pregnant again and she is trying to keep this baby. I am not sure if I can take on this responsibility, with the ones I already have

My stepson did come to meet his son but things didn't work out with him and the mother.He is very immature and has some mental issues and acts like a 2 year old most of the time.He spent half the week they were here pouting about one thing or another.She told him that she already had one baby and didnot need another [meaning him] and that he needed to get a job and be father to their son but she did not want to get back together. Then he started denying it was even his to us and to her [my hubby is pissed at him about it].She told him that was fine and that they would do a DNA test and then she would take him to court for child support.She told him that she had took care of the baby alone for 7 months and that he WAS going to help with him at least financially,so he had better get him a good job!

We are taking her side on this because we agree that he is very immature and needs to GROW UP!! This child looks just like him and she is not the type of girl who would sleeps around.She is very level headed and takes perfect care of her baby.You can just see the love in her eyes when she holds her son.We told her that we would do everything we can to help her with him.She is going for a job interveiw on Monday and we have volunteered to watch the baby for her.If she gets the job we are going to baby sit for her and not charge her anything.I know how hard it is to be a single mother trying to work and having to pay a lot out to a baby sitter and pay all the bills too.This will give us a chance to spend all the time we want with the baby and help her at the same time.

Step son has gone back to where he lives and this may sound mean but we hope he stays there! We love him but he has really disappionted us this time.When it comes to our grandchildren or our children we will choose the grands every time because they need someone to stand up for them when they can't!!!

Mamaw, that's so strong of you, and I hope you and the baby's mother can become "family." She does seem level-headed, and it appears she's doing everything she should to be a good mom. Babysitting is a nice way to stay in the baby's life, too.

I hope everything works out!

mamaw,

I'm sorry your son is not stepping up to the plate. I hope she does follow through and hold him responsible for child support. Even if he's not working, hopefully it will help him to realize that responsibility comes with actions.

You are so great to offer to help the girl. I'm sure she appreciates it more than you'll ever know. Where are her parents in all of this?

God Bless you!
