Not knowing anything about biology: is a 12-year old even physically capable of caring for a child (breastfeeding, etc)?

One thing that makes me mad is when, in situations like this, its somehow the responsible thing to keep the baby, rather than put it up for adoption. Even without abortion entering into the picture, how can you say that this baby will end up living a better life with a teenage mother, and a 35 (!) year old grandmother, than with a couple that cannot give birth but can provide all the other needs for the child. I resent the attitude that some people seem to have where somehow, putting a baby up for adoption is a weakness of character.
