    Perhaps you could explain that sometimes when people are close to being adults they start to act like adults in some ways and this is why the baby was made.

    No judgement hun, you havn't done anything xoxox

    How young are we talking?

    I would follow Mak's advice and just try to answer the questions as they are asked and try not to go into too much detail. I love how your not showing any bad feeling towards the dad or girl, that is really important and will just help in this crappy situation, well done hun xoxox

    I think Mak's post is really the way to go. I think your explanation needs to be age appropriate but give enough information that it doesn't generate different questions. I think the point about families coming from all sorts of situations ie: blended etc... would be helpful.
