I'm glad to hear that you support your daughter during this difficult time. My own mother had me at the age of 17 and without the support from my grandparents my mother and father would have struggled.
I agree with many others, that this is your daughter's decision. As an adoptive parent, I am thankful to have contact with our son's birthmom and wish that we knew his birthfater. Just because someone chooses not to parent does not mean that they shouldn't be in the child's life. Your granchild someday will ask about his/her birthfater and it would be sad to have to tell them that you didn't want that person in their life.
Please, please discuss this with your daughter. And try to all your ability to discuss with the father - he has the right to choose to parent or not.
But I also think that guardianship is better than adoption, since it doesn't seem like your daughter wants to terminate her parental rights.
Best of luck.
