Those are costs to the parent, but what about the costs to the child? A child of a teen parent will likely pay a heavy price as well without having the benefit of growing up in a stable environment. Children of teen parents are far more likely to grow up in poverty and repeat a similar life in adulthood.
When considering these costs, it gets easier to see why adoption isn’t about giving up your baby, it’s about giving TO your baby. It’s a decision based on love that gives your child and yourself the best chance at succeeding in life.
If you are a teen parent, get in contact with Herston Roskind, PLC. The Firm can help you place your child in a loving home where he or she will have a stable environment with parents that have the means and desire to care for your child.

The Cost of Being a Teen Parent Adds Up Fast!
Children are expensive no matter what stage of life you’re in. But the cost of being a teen parent is more than just the dollars it takes to raise a child. The odds of finishing your education are much lower if you’re a teen parent.
And the less education you have, the less you will make to support you and your baby.
Teen parents also lose out on much-needed social interaction that help define you as you mature into adulthood.
The emotional toll is a heavy burden, and adding that to the financial burden can be completely overwhelming.
