Pregnant and SingleHelp for the Tough Choices by Linda Roggow & Carolyn Owens |
|
"This book, written by a superb team, offers the best guidelines we’ve yet seen in print for the decisions that must be made by a pregnant teenager. It doesn’t deal only in generalities; it gives specifics and examples, addresses and phone numbers." –Beverly LaHaye, President, Concerned Women for America
In this revised edition, the authors frankly discuss pregnancy, adoption, single parenting, and marriage. They help unwed mothers weigh the options and make informed choices by facing the problems squarely:
· the shock of learning that a baby is coming
· the health of mother and baby
· who will give support?
· what are the options?
· how to make the best decisions for baby and mother
· ready for motherhood?
· money matters
· checking motives
· planning for adoption
· what about the father? the grandparents?
· how faith helps
Fill-in charts help the mother prepare good decisions. An appendix lists pregnancy care centers.
