I am 51 years old and I made the choice to have my baby but to adopt out. I was the first girl not to "hide" my pregnancy in H.S. Keeping my child was never an option.
My daughter is going on 34 years old now and is about to have her second child.
Even though we have been reunited for 13 years now, and our relationship is incredibly painful for me. I have to take a back seat to all the major events in her life.
What I am trying to say is that there is no good solution teen-age pregnancy. The BEST choice having birth control available and to understand your options before you ever get pregnant.
