Hi Meli,

Unfortunately I cant really help on details regarding hospitals & programs but I will offer some support info.

My sister was 16 when she fell pregnant (she is now 33) & we have talked a lot about what it was like for her over the years. The overwhelming memory she has is a regret at being smothered. It would have been far better for her had we empowered her with love rather than smother her with it. For example, rather than taking the tact "I'm older & I think it would be best if you did it this way" make a point of saying "Here are some books & info I found helpful, read it & tell me what you think.... your instincts are good & I know you will do fine"

That is all a really hodge podge way of explaining it & i hope it makes sense.

Good luck
