The pregnancy was a way to show the repercussions of growing up with a criminal father and drug addict mom, sheโd end up looking for male attention and ended up with a guy she barely knew who knocked her up. She would give it up for adoption because she couldnโt take care of it and feared her dad using the baby for leverage against her or corrupting him.
DC canon is screwy, but I doubt itโs something theyโd bring up anytime soon. The storyline was only like 5/6 issues in the first place, and only mentioned in passing after.
