My birth mother was living on the streets getting by on prostitution, drugs and alcohol. She had me at 13. No lies i can give u the documents. But I turned out alright, got adopted to a family who abused me mentally, emotionally and mildly sexually for the next 16 years until i moved out. I have faith in the kid. There are extremely high chances of it being born under unfavourable conditions and it is up to you to decide if you are willing to take the chance. You are still very young and education is important in this stage of your life. You will struggle a great deal if you take this card up. I wont even get into what a great deal I can think of is happening for your friend. It sounds to me like shes doing all she can to destroy the baby. Or at least to find a reason enough when it's deformed to not love it. In either case, its one of those really selfish things to do but not selfish at the same time, know what i mean? Its just mistake. Is abortion available? Its noones fault, but someone can make the situation alot better. The one in most of that power, is her. The one whos second in power is you. Because you could accept the baby, or you could influence her as deeply as your own life exists. Hope that helps

As an 18 year old girl, it is unlikely you would be considered as a viable adoptive parent. However, the good news is that nearly EVERYONE has ovarian cysts at some point in their life and having them does not mean you cannot conceive a child! So there is the good news.
I'll go along with what everyone else here has said, you need to tell your friend's parents she is pregnant. If she has known since December, then she is at the very least 6 months pregnant - which would be about right, considering the fetal movement.
Sounds to me like she might try to get rid of the baby anyway she can. Doing drugs, pre-term labor, etc.
More than likely, you could report her to CPS, and they'd not do very much. Please do, though. And also her parents. Whoever is supporting her needs to be involved.
Adopting a drug addicted baby is probably not something you should consider at this point. There are plenty of families who are more suited both emotionally and financially for this kind of task.
Good luck!
