I was trying to say that people can not just assume that because the mother had him at 17,that she was too young and maybe that is why she seems to have had an error in judgement. I guess alot of my comment is based on experience. I was told many times, before my son was even born, by people I hardly knew that I could never raise him properly and should give him to people that could. Of course some of the people telling me that were advocates for adoption because that is how they got their kids. I also know some people who have had kids the same time as me...I was the fifth one at my highschool that year...who used their young age as an excuse to neglect their children. So I wasnt necessarily talking about this woman but people in general. Like Jenny was saying about how she would of been ready to have children at 19, its also about maturity and not just age. I know some 30 yr olds who would be lousy parents. As for the cookies vs marjiuana...only thing is cookies arent illegal otherwise you could just bake the pot right into them...
