Star Magazine is reporting that 16 year old Jamielynn Spears has decided to giver her baby to her mom, Lynne Spears, to raise in Kentwood, Louisiana, so she can return to work and concentrate on her career.

A source told America's Star magazine: "After several weeks of personal soul searching and talks and discussions with her mom, Jamie Lynn reluctantly agreed that giving up the baby is the right thing to do.

"Lynne says Jamie doesn't understand the lifelong consequences of having a baby. She wants Jamie Lynn to continue her show business career after the baby is born and Jamie Lynn also realises she wants to enjoy her teenage years without the responsibilities of caring for a baby.

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

What do you think, people? Will Jamie Lynn's career be able to recover after this hiccup? Do you think she will have to find a niche other than Nickelodeon to take her in?
