Jamie Lynn Spears agrees to hand baby over to mother

January 24 2008

Jamie Lynn SpearsPregnant Jamie Lynn Spears has agreed to give up her baby.

The teen sister of pop wreck Britney Spears will hand over the baby to her mum Lynne as soon as it is born so she can concentrate on her career.

Lynne will then raise the child at the family's home in rural Kentwood, Louisiana, away from Hollywood.

Jamie Lynn, just 16, made the heartbreaking decision after several long heart to heart talks with her mum.

An insider told US magazine Star: "After several weeks of personal soul searching and talks and discussions with her mum Jamie Lynn reluctantly agreed that giving up the baby is the right thing to do.

"Lynne says Jamie doesn't understand the life long consequences of having a baby.

"She still wants her daughter to be able to be a teenager, go to parties, hang out with friends and have a career.

"So she'll take the front seat of caring for the baby and take the pressure off her daughter."

Since her shocking pregnancy hit headlines around the world, Jamie Lynn has been under pressure.

Even the paternity of her baby has been questioned - her family insist her boyfriend 18 year-old Casey Aldridge is the father but other insiders close to the Spears claim the dad is a much older executive on her TV show.

One insider told Star: "Jamie Lynn has been working on her show Zoey 101 since she was 13.

"In Hollywood, little girls grow up fast and she's no exception. With everything that has gone on in her family, she needed someone to look up to.

"But the man she found seems to have completely taken advantage of her."

Other reports in the US claim that boyfriend Casey has asked for a DNA test to prove that he is the father.

Since the news broke Jamie Lynn has left Los Angeles and headed back to Kentwood where she has been attending high school equivalency and parenting classes.

She has been staying at the family's $3 million estate but once the baby is born she is planning to return to LA.

But despite the news she is pregnant at 16, residents in the tiny town, whose population is just 2,200, are supporting the teen.

Kentwood local Pam Wright said: "How many 16 year-old girls get pregnant every week?

"It doesn't mean that she's a bad person. I don't think this will end her career, life will go on."

And that is exactly the same attitude mum Lynne is taking with her daughter.

The insider added: "She wants Jamie Lynn to continue her show business career after the baby is born and Jamie Lynn also realizes she wants to enjoy her teenage years without the responsibilities of caring for a baby.

"Lynne is convinced that having a baby on her hip will not help Jamie Lynn's future in the business and she's expecting her daughter to pick up where she left off as soon as the baby is born."

According to the source, Jamie Lynn's managers also agree and have advised Lynne that the best thing to do is have Jamie photographed with the baby as soon as it is born, sell the pictures and then take over raising her own grandchild.

The source told Star: "Lynne is completely on board with the plan.

"She always wanted Britney to raise her babies in Louisiana. She couldn't have that  but now she's going to raise Jamie Lynn's baby at her home in Kentwood.

"Jamie Lynn will be back at work and trying to remind people of her talent and not that she is an unwed teenage mother.

But a rep for Jamie Lynn denies that the pregnant teen is giving total control to her mother.

geez people leave the poor

geez people leave the poor gurl alone, like come on, how would u feel if u got prego, and had a career that u really loved, u wouldn't wanna give it up, i know i wouldn't jamie propbley is pretty upset that she can't do it herself, but she only 16, and her mom is nice enought to take hey baby, becuz i know most moms wouldn't

i know it's jamies fault for doing this to herslef and she should be raizing this child on her own, but being fumos, and having a career, and only being 16 it's really hard to, and being 16 and pergo, she wont me able to do all the stuff she wanted to do in life

i just say people should just but out, and leave the poor gurl alone,

i think that jamie lynn

i think that jamie lynn spears will make a better mother than her stupid sister 'britney spears' because jamie lynn spears has a better career than britney and also because britney spears just left her babies in the house by them self and just party all night that is fust wrong not also that but britney spears is a bitch.

wait a minute.. so they are

wait a minute.. so they are going to tell the kid that Jamie Lynn is its sister and that Lynn is its mother?... thats twisted..

Unbelieveable!! This idiot

Unbelieveable!! This idiot woman is not making her daughter take resposibility for her actions!! What a message that is sending to all the younger girls growing up and watching Jamie Lynn and wanting to be like her. This "brainchild" idea that her mom has, shows how backwards her priorites are and how she wants to keep the money rolling in, since Britney won't have anything to do with her. This is kind of sad, Lynn Spears taught neither one of her daughters to be self respecting decent women.

Well i think that jamie lynn

Well i think that jamie lynn spaers shuld have the baby but not give it out yet,

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE

There are hundreds of girls

There are hundreds of girls her age who have sex irresponsibly and have abortions every day and she should be commended for not going that route.

The baby will be better off being taken care of by the grandma. Jamie Lynn is still a kid herself.

I dont think it is the right

I dont think it is the right thing that Jamie lynn is going to give up her baby. I think the dad should take care of it. If Jamie Lynn whated to have a baby she needs to take care of it not anybody else. Jamie Lynn u r a pretty girl. I dont know why u would give up your baby. Jamie Lynn i hope u make a good choise.
