If I were an adviser to a chapter considering pledging a young mother I would strongly advise against it.
So if she would have had an abortion instead, you'd hand her a bid with a big bow on it?

Grandparents raising a child does not = abandonment. If we're going to use that word, there are a LOT of very well-off people who have "abandoned" their children by putting them in the practically full-time care of nannies.

I think it's great that they're encouraging their daughter to complete her college education and have a good college experience. If all she has in her life is studying and baby care, she's not going to be a very happy person and she'll probably end up dropping out and going into a dead end job.
