I think what might be more appropriate is to try to work out a type of
mentoring/mother's helper program in the community.  I don't think my almost
15 yo son is in danger of risking parenthood anytime soon, but then he lives
24/7 with a 3 yo brother and 16 mo sister.  Obviously he has nothing to do
with nursing, but he's changed diapers (even really nasty poopy ones),
prepared meals, dressed and redressed small children, and most importantly,
learned to deal with small people getting into his stuff and interfering
with his plans.  While he loves his sibling dearly, he certainly does not
want the responsibility of one of his own.  Just my experience.
