ok everyone who is interested.....here's my update!

my granddaughter was born in august. she was 6 weeks early and only weighed 4lb 15oz. she stayed in the nicu for 1 week and is perfectly....PERFECT!!! mom and dad are doing great as well. they are young so they have had to learn a lot, but i will say that i'm very proud of both of them! it has been a HUGE adjustment for them.
me, ds, and my sister were at the delivery. it was in the middle of the night and went lightning fast! her family didn't even know that she had left the house while they were sleeping. her mom woke up to get ready for work and had 2 messages on her phone from me telling her where we were and that the baby was born. she was not very happy. her own fault though.....
i still have nothing good to say about her family, unfortunately.
i'll try to figure out how to post pics

Congratulations to you. I watched this thread back in May and for some reason, it so touched my heart. I know those 3 young people are in good hands with your care and guidance. You will do good work helping them to develop into a family of their own. In the meantime, enjoy your holiday together.

Congratulations! It is nice to hear that everything worked out for the best. By reading the thread, it seems that it is because you are a terrificly supportive mother, and now a terrific grandmother, too. Best wishes to you and your family.

MizTink--I didn't see your thread until it was bumped, but I must say that I give you kudo's for how you handled the situation.

None of us parents ever wants to be caught in that position--and shame and hiding doesn't fix the problem. I am shocked by how she was treated by her own parents and at what they seemed to have attempted to do.

I am not sure if I was 17 and in labor that I would have known what to do. My mom was 18 when she had me (disclaimer: Though she was a teen mom, I was but a sparkle when they got married and wasn't born until 11 months later.). At 18, when she went into labor, her water broke and to say she was clueless was an understatement.

In any case--I'm impressed that she did leave her family and likely ended up with a delivery she wanted with loving people instead of controlling people.

While I hope to never find myself in such a position--I do pray that if something like that were to happen, that I can be as loving and accepting as you have been. You give Grandma's a good name! Good job and congratulations on the new baby.

(And if any of this sounds bad, it isn't meant to be--I'm just very impressed with your demeanor in handling the news, your son, and the gf and your new grandchild. My cousin was a teen mom and the ummm...meanness that her mother exhibited to her was quite callous. Especially during labor. They are on very good terms right now which amazes me given her upbringing especially in her teenage years. )

Congratulations. Babies can bring families together in the best kind of way as long as someone is willing to open their hearts to them. Sounds like the girl's family just isn't going to do that; so sad for them.

Merry Christmas! Your granddaughter was born two months after mine! (our little miracle girl came on June 28th!)
