He has already been told that he needs to take a DNA test, and will do that.  The thing is, the mother wants to put the baby up for adoption, and we do not.  I was told that the baby will then have to go into foster care until custody is determined.  However, I have been reading that "relative placement" is preferred over foster homes, and wouldn't that mean that he would come home with me (his grandmother)?  Also, the mother's family evicted her, so she has no place to go, and since she wanted to give the baby up, is totally unprepared with the lack of necessities for the baby, that we will have in the next few days when this baby is due to be discharged from the hospital.  I am hoping that we will be given the chance to provide for this baby.  I will look into parenting classes tomorrow morning.  

My 15yo son just found out today that his ex-girlfriend gave birth on 11/10/2006, to a son.  She wants to put him up for adoption, my son and our family want to keep him.  She says if my son doesn't let her give him up for adoption, that she will keep him, not letting my son (or I) have custody.  What can we do, and where do we go first?
