Some teens view abortion as a “quick-fix” and a way to return to a normal teen life. But years of research and heartache have shown that teens are left with remorse and guilt for years to come and wondering what would have become of their child had they made a different choice.
Finding a loving family to take the child and raise him or her as their own is the best option for a teen mother and for her baby. Teen mothers struggle with guilt at the thought of giving their children up. But the truth is it’s an act of love. You’re giving your child and yourself the best chance at succeeding in life.
Many people have seen the popular movie “Juno” which details the plight of teen mothers. Like Juno, many teen mothers make the selfless and loving choice to carry the baby and place him or her into a loving adoptive home.

I am A Pregnant Teen What Do I do?
Being a teenager is never easy, and finding out that you are pregnant during your teens can be terrifying. As a teenager you are just forming the basis of your personality and are still undergoing the learning process that will help guide you through to adulthood. It’s no wonder, then, why pregnant teens are scared and often unsure of what to do.
There are three basic options for a pregnant teen: keep and raise the baby, have an abortion, or find a loving home to place the child.
Many teens realize quickly that raising the child is nearly impossible and comes with costly and long-lasting consequences both for the pregnant teen and her baby. Read more about the cost of teen pregnancy.
It’s generally not in the best interest of the mother or the baby to pursue this route.
