my DSD Raychael just called me and told me she was pregnant! She lives in Montana with her mom in the summer and Fall-Spring with us. I dont know if i should tell my DH her father, or let her tell him. She is moving back here for college in a month and a half. I guess she is 3 months along. Can anyone give me some adice? I just had my first 2 kids and i am not ready to be a step grandma yet!! I need some help!!


Thanks soooo much!

Ask Raychael if she wants you to tell her dad or not. She might want to be the one to tell him, or she may want you to be the buffer.

As far as not being ready...unfortunately, it looks like you get to do it anyway! I'd find out what she plans to do next before getting too tied up in that part...there are still all of these options at this point--keep the baby, put the baby up for open adoption, closed adoption...what your function will be in the baby's life is likely a question mark this early on.

She plants to keep the baby. I told her I would help whenever I can, i guess it will be like my own child. Thanks Dr. Kae
