- About a month ago, not long after we had been together for a year, my girlfriend (Cadence Pierce- 16) and I (Connor Seelye- 17) discovered she was pregnant. After the initial scare between us, we went on to telling the people that needed to know, my mom her mom, dad ect. My mom and I suggested to them that we explore our options seeing as how young we are. Since then her mother and father said she was on "lock-down" and I was only able to see her on Saturdays, once a week, for about 4-5 hours. Recently I suggested she live with my family, in our house, so we can get on our feet and get our lives together, to bring our child into this world prepared. She lives with her parents now, in a very isolated location and in a very small house with little to no job opportunities for a person her age and goes to a school where she gets picked on/harassed daily for being pregnant. I suggested to her that she move here Into my house which, while not huge, has a lot more space and is in town where there are many opportunities to work and save up money for our future child (be it Mcdonald's or anywhere, a starting job is a job). There is also better schooling that won't put the stress her current one does now, which can cause many of health problems for a growing baby in the womb. Her parents found out I had asked her and completely banned me from being around her or my growing child (it may not be born, but being there to see her and him/her get bigger is a great thing I think every mother and father should experience) she is 16 almost 17 and we are very much in love and ready to grow and become independent no matter how difficult the future may be. I ask to sign this petition so they may see how wrong their actions in keeping us away from each other really are.

I am currently working with a family advocate to draft a formal request to her parents about our living situation. Post this link on your Facebook page and tag local youth support organizations to help us get more eyes on this. Send an email to your local representative asking them to address the lack of resources for expectant teen parents in our town.

The response to this campaign shows that people understand how vital it is for us to build a stable future for our baby. Now we need to keep this pressure on her parents so they realize we are serious about these changes. Email your local representatives today to ask for their guidance on our rights.

I was 17 when I became pregnant I was in the same boat as you , but the dad left and I was alone when my son was born he came back into my life , your a real man for doing this , your girlfriend should not be picked on for being pregnant it's natural for this generation
In this generation most guys bail out when they are young and an incident like an accidental pregnancy happens. Why kick a father who is actually trying, out of the picture?
My boyfriend (16) and I (16) recently found out that were gonna be having a baby. We've been talking about me moving into his house as well. Seeing as it's less stress on me. But my parents aren't going for it. I hope everything turns out like you want it too
There's no worse that can be done between the two of you if you're pregnant and it's not right to keep a loving father from his child. Nor is it correct to force someone to go without a job and go to school that adds to the already overwhelming stress.
They may be her parents but you bothare that kids parents. They don't have a single moral right to keep you two apart. I wish you 2 the best of luck even though I don't know either of you. Hope things work out for you.
Best of luck to you guys, im hoping everything will work out soon
Personally I don't know who this guy is but he seems like a very nice person. I am 16 and if I know anything about this generation as soon as a girl says she's pregnant he says "it's not mine" and then he leaves and never sees her again or the child. There are so many young woman out there pregnant and alone. Now if he's fighting to see her, then you should be thankful that he want to help raise and support the child and his girlfriend. So a big screw you parents of the girl. be lucky he wants to be there, there aren't a lot of men like that anymore. Keep fighting, I'll be routing for you man!

Let him see her and be a father. There's nothing worse than a father being kept from his child and being there to support his growing family. My wife and I are 21 living on our own. It is possible. May not always be easy but it is possible! If you succeed, yall need to go to your local human resources office and get some assistance such as WIC it will help tremendously. Goodluck kid!
