I know this is hard, to sit back and let your child make mistakes and take the wrong path, but it is something you have to do. Love her, be there for her, IF she asks for advice, give it lovingly and non-judgementally. And give her and the baby to God. Place them in His hands and trust Him to woo her and guide her in life. Pray for her everyday. Keep being a role model for her. She is still watching, even tho you may not be able to see it.

What great advice.

We taught our son by doing. However, when he became older he developed his own thoughts. He is at a stage now where he is seeing that maybe, just maybe, he needs to re-think his outlook. While I am not happy about his first choice, I can understand it because of what I went through. Let's Pray for him!
