Up until now you may never have had to deal with a critical issue at all, let alone a situation that will change the rest of your life.

Adoption:

With open adoption, you get to choose the adoptive parents

By making a plan for open adoption, you decide who adopts your baby and the type of contact you have with the adoptive family so that you can know your child is doing well. In open adoption children grow up knowing that they are loved by both their adopted parents and the birth parents who gave them life.

An advantage to adoption is that it gives you the option of continuing your education, while at the same time giving your baby a better life as well. Read Megan’s story; she chose adoption. Here are some teens that are currently looking into adoption for their babies…
