Birth Mother Matters in Adoption Episode 24:Why More Teens Don't Choose Adoption

Birth Mother Matters in Adoption Episode 24:Why More Teens Don't Choose Adoption?

Adoption is the least-prevalent option among pregnant teens. Research shows that only 1 to 2 percent of women place their children for adoption, and that the number of teens who place their babies for adoption has declined sharply over recent decades.

Teenagers' brains are still maturing and the following are some of the reasons that adoption may not be the ideal choice in their mind:

1. Lack of education on adoption
2.  Sex Education – focus on abstinence only and not on what happens when an unplanned pregnancy occurs
3. Family Assistance Parents/grandparents/ help
4. Delay in responding to the pregnancy, leaving them no time to plan
5. Planet Fantasy
6. Short-Term Thinking
