Starr’s Pregnancy

I can understand 100 reasons why Starr would not want to keep her baby she is after all only 16 years old, but what is with the I can’t business, like suddenly she doesn’t know what Sam eats she has been taking care of him everyday as his big sis, and was a totally competent babysitter for him the whole time Marci and Michael had him when she was only 15.  So with all the reasons she may want to give up her baby for adoption, this winning that she can’t take care of  a child is just insulting to the viewer. especially the bit about not knowing what to feed Sam.. please!

I have to wonder with an adoption storyline, why they are pushing so hard, so early.  Most 16 year olds don’t decide in the first trimester that adoption is the answer.  They have to face the abortion question, but once they decide not to have an abortion the adoption decision may not happen for a few months and maybe not til the last minute.  I think they are pushing too hard to force us to believe Starr wants to give the baby up.  We get it, we don’t need it force fed to us by lies about the character of Starr, nor do we need it so soon.

Today Starr breaks Cole’s heart telling him she wants to give the baby away.  Guess what Starr you can’t give the baby away unless Cole signs off on it, enter big drama, that will likely drag on for the whole pregnancy!

And as I predicted Starr asks Marci if she wants to adopt her baby.   I suppose Cole may agree eventually if it were to be an open adoption that allowed him to spend time with the baby.  But then again who knows what happens when the town finds out Marty is alive and Todd finds out about the pregnancy.
